As with everything else you demented loser, wrong again you piece of brainwashed shit.Absolute nonsense. Carter stood up to the Muslim terrorist and Reagan caved, giving birth to modern terrorism and making Americans targets. He helped create al Qaeda. Marine barracks were bombed and a US commercial airline was blown out of rhe ski. Those two attacks alone killed over 500. Americans were being pulled off of airlines and cruise ships murdered and thrown into rhe sea or onto rhe tarmac. Soldiers were killed in a European Disco while Reagan gave a head start to Osama Bin Laden and development of his al Qaeda organization.It was jimmy carters failed (definitive epic failure) that caused the jihad against America (the west) and it has been downhill since.
From there, we needed to gain an ally with iraq in fighting them. Then we had a problem with that, obviously.
That is where the timeline goes. Jimmy carter.
Everything in my post is 100% accurate and all you are able to do is name call and insult because you can not challenge the facts contained in that post.
I just did by presenting the unclassified documents regarding that ayatollah revolution asshole.
Khomeini’s revolution and CIA declassified documents
US had extensive contact with Ayatollah Khomeini before Iran revolution
Two Weeks in January: America's secret engagement with Khomeini
Since you won't read any of those you fuck, I will show everyone what those DECLASSIFIED documents say.....
On 27 January, 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini - founder of Iran's Islamic Republic, the man who called the United States "the Great Satan" - sent a secret message to Washington.
From his home in exile outside Paris, the defiant leader of the Iranian revolution effectively offered the Carter administration a deal: Iranian military leaders listen to you, he said, but the Iranian people follow my orders.
If President Jimmy Carter could use his influence on the military to clear the way for his takeover, Khomeini suggested, he would calm the nation. Stability could be restored, America's interests and citizens in Iran would be protected.
At the time, the Iranian scene was chaotic. Protesters clashed with troops, shops were closed, public services suspended. Meanwhile, labour strikes had all but halted the flow of oil, jeopardising a vital Western interest.
Persuaded by Carter, Iran's autocratic ruler, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, known as the Shah, had finally departed on a "vacation" abroad, leaving behind an unpopular prime minister and a military in disarray - a force of 400,000 men with heavy dependence on American arms and advice.
In the official Iranian narrative of the revolution, Khomeini bravely defied the United States and defeated "the Great Satan" in its desperate efforts to keep the Shah in power.
But the documents reveal that Khomeini was far more engaged with the US than either government has ever admitted. Far from defying America, the ayatollah courted the Carter administration, sending quiet signals that he wanted a dialogue and then portraying a potential Islamic Republic as amenable to US interests.
