    Or you know, when they had a fully democratic government before the US came in and installed the puppet Shah which led to the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and brought the fundamentalist government in power.

      Iran’s democracy was toppled three times in the 20th century, each time with the British at the helm. The US kinda stole the coup from the British in 1953. What I mean is that this is not just history, it’s also what’s happening now. Iran was moving toward a much more progressive society and those efforts were again sabotaged by the West, not just the US but the West collectively.
