Carter had nothing to do with one million demonstrators in Tehran in 1978.
“Crowds in excess of one million demonstrated in Tehrān, proving the wide appeal of Khomeini, who arrived in Iran amid wild rejoicing”

/—-/ Ob that would be the peanut farmer, Jimmy “I’ll never lie to you “ Carter, who had the brain fart to replace the Shaw of Iran with Ayatollah Khomeini, or however you spell his name. He proceeded to turn a Western friendly nation into the largest terror state in the world. Thank ya Jimmy.
When was Carter the President of Iran?
or how in the hell do you think Carter created Khomeini? He was in exile in France.
- During his exile, Khomeini coordinated this upsurge of opposition—first from Iraqand after 1978 from France—demanding the shah’s abdication. In January 1979, in what was officially described as a “vacation,” the shah and his family fled Iran. The Regency Council established to run the country during the shah’s absence proved unable to function, and Prime Minister Shahpur Bakhtiar, hastily appointed by the shah before his departure, was incapable of effecting compromise with either his former National Front colleagues or Khomeini. Crowds in excess of one million demonstrated in Tehrān, proving the wide appeal of Khomeini, who arrived in Iran amid wild rejoicing on February 1. Ten days later, on February 11, Iran’s armed forces declared their neutrality, effectively ousting the shah’s regime. Bakhtiar went into hiding, eventually to find exile in France.
Aftermath
On April 1, following overwhelming support in a national referendum, Khomeini declared Iran an Islamic republic.

How Jimmy Carter lost Iran - The Washington Post

Oct 22, 2017The politics behind Carter's biggest blunder. On Oct. 21, 1979, President Jimmy Carterauthorized the deposed Shah of Iran to enter the United States for medical treatment — with catastrophic consequences. Carter blundered because of vacillation, shortsighted thinking, a disregard for identified risk and inept implementation that included zero precautions to protect against disaster.
So why did you tell this lie in the first place?
“Carter, who had the brain fart to
replace the Shaw of Iran with Ayatollah Khomeini,”
you lied when you said Carter replaced “the Shaw of Iran with Ayatollah Khomeini“
Khomeini took over in February 1979.
You cite an opinion in the WAPO which is critical Carter’s decision to allow the deposed Iran come to the US. That happened in October 1979.
Carter did not repkace the Shah with Khomeini.
You lied or are ignorant. Take your pick.

New depths to Jimmy Carter’s fecklessness have emerged through the declassification of State Department cables relating to the fall of the Shah of Iran.
As reported by the BBC, the Ayatollah Khomeini, in January 1979, secretly sought Carter’s assistance in overcoming opposition from Iran’s military, still loyal to the shah. Khomeini promised that if he could return to Iran from exile in France, which the United States could facilitate, he would prevent a civil war, and his regime would not be hostile to Washington.
The soon-to-be Supreme Leader of Iran certainly knew a sucker when he saw one. What Carter did in response to Khomeini’s pledge is not entirely clear from the newly declassified materials, but
Khomeini did return; the military either fell into line or was ruthlessly purged; and Iran switched 180 degrees from being a strategic US ally to being one of our most implacable adversaries.
Carter’s unwillingness to back the shah, a staunch American ally, has long been well-known, despite constant protestations of support at the time. Khomeini could not then, however, have relied on that for certain. Within Carter’s administration, hostility to the shah over his human-rights record, a centerpiece of Carter’s policy, was certainly extensive.
