US seems eager to tie a friendly relation with Iran and on surface it is so. But Iran is having rallies that chant ‘death to America’ and the ‘free world’ is all confused. The reason behind these chants is what we call as Hard Past which does not let Iran forgive US.
Here are the five things Iran can never forget about US,
The founder of Reuters purchased Iran in 1872
Nasir al-Din Shah, Shah of Iran from 1848-1896, sold Baron Julius de Reuter the right to operate all of Iran’s railroads and canals, most of the mines, all of the government’s forests, and all future industries. Iranians were so infuriated that the Shah had to rescind the sale the next year.
CIA’s 1953 overthrow of Iran’s Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh
BBC transmitted a secret code to help Kermit Roosevelt (Teddy’s grandson) lay the groundwork for an American and British coup against Mosaddegh. Soon enough the U.S. was training the regime’s secret police in how to interrogate Iranians with methods a CIA analyst said were “based on German torture techniques from World War II.”
US leaders threatened to destroy Iran
Just a few examples, John McCain used to sing, ‘“bomb bomb bomb Iran.” Admiral William Fallon, who retired as head of CENTCOM in 2008, said about Iran: “These guys are ants. When the time comes, you crush them.” Admiral James Lyons Jr., commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet in the 1980s, has said we were prepared to “drill them back to the fourth century.” Richard, and on and on are such examples.
US worry about Iran’s nukes because they would deter US
The rhetoric on Iran seems nonsensical: Do U.S. leaders actually believe Iran would engage in a first nuclear strike on Israel or the U.S., given that would lead to a quick and devastating retaliation from those well-armed nuclear powers?
They’re not worried that we can’t deter a nuclear-armed Iran — they’re worried that a nuclear-armed Iran could deter US.
