Iran was named after its race which is the "Aryan" race. The former shah of Iran was dethroned by the CIA because of his affinity with the Nazis during WW II. The CIA in turn installed his 21 year old shah was his replacement. Shah 2 was dethroned by the arrival of Ayatollah Khomenei.
If President Carter authorized the CIA to save the Shah 2 throne, the world would not have any terrorists today.
I should not put only the blame on just President Carter, but the Senate too who removed most of the capability of the CIA to enforce the US foreign policy secretly.
Remember the Iran-Contra?
After the Senate finished investigating Iran-Contra, the CIA was left with just bare bones.
That's the fact - Ask Senator Kerry!
