The US (and UK) coup d'etat in Iran toppling a democratically elected government lead to the Shah's monarcho-dictatorship and with it to the islamic revolution.

I know. I lived in Iran from 82-86. Learned all about it in (Iranian) primary school. Well, the ayatollah version of the story.

Always the governmental version. I guess that the islamic revolution would not have happened, without the toppling of mossadeq

No. But the Americans always ‘know better’. I can guarantee you, even the most ardent opponents of the current regime will rally behind the government against US and Israel interference. Iran is NOT Iraq and that didn’t go well either…
