Iran ceased being an ally after the Shah was overturned. Thanks in large part to Jimmy Carter and his “wonderful” foreign policies.
That’s how I remember it...
Some ‘progressive’ twit (but I repeat myself) posted this as evidence of ‘allied’ assistance....
‘We fought alongside Iranian Quds (special forces) in Nov 2001 battle of Herat. Iran policed the border so we didn’t have to during our initial invasion of Afghanistan. They were VERY against the Taliban. Those are the actions of functional allies or “more or less” allies for the very specific time frame Mitchell explicitly states, “it was post 9/11”until the axis speech.’
Can they really believe that?
