The US decided a few decades before Carter to mess with the economic stasis of Iran. Having oil companies overthrow a country, with the help of the CIA isn't cool, just like tech today. There was naturally gonna be blowback, just as we would have been pissed. Look at what China is doing in our country. Carter gets alot of blame, but the fire started before he got there.
