I'm curious about what the Iranians think of Reagan. On a separate thought, it seems to me that the mullahs should have been "grateful" to Carter since he made their takeover possible, but it looked like they were deliberately trying to humiliate him by releasing the hostages on the day Reagan was inaugurated. I suspect rulers in the Middle East--even tyrants--have no respect for weak American presidents, even ones who help them achieve their ends.
I personally feel good about him!
But since an Iranian Airliner went down due to the US Navy attack in mid 80s and that the commander of that vessel was awarded by the administration at the time, there are some doubts about Reagan in Iran as well!
I can't tell you much about Pres. Reagan popularity in Iran though
