    Iran was not the country it currently is, I would condemn the attack.

    I wonder which countries played roles in it becoming like that. This would be what the 4th time Israel and USA have done/attempted regime change?

      I know the history. It’s bitter.

      Iran had extremely poor relations between government and parliament, but could have come through of that period without the UK + US organized coup.

      The Shah could have been influenced and moderated, but nobody gave a damn.

      The Islamic revolution was not the only possible outcome of the revolution to oust the Shah, but it was allowed to go that way. Nobody gave a damn.

      So, once act of malicious interference by the UK + US, plus two acts of the international community (note: of that time) not having any damns to give.
