1) Overthrew Mosadegh, the democratically elected secular prime minister in Iran during the 20th century, because he refused to give the west oil. So the CIA overthrew him, thus giving the Shah WAY more power and leading to the Islamic Revolution bc people hated the Shah lol
2) During the Iran Iraq war, USA gave Iraq nuclear weapons. Yes. Iraq. And they gave nuclear weapons specifically because they knew Iran had vowed to never use them, a promise kept till today.
3) During the Iran Iraq war as well, Israel and USA took advantage of Iran’s weakness and stole natural resources from us such as oil, nuts, saffron etc
4) In 1988, a US warship shot down an Iranian airliner, killing a few hundred people, because they mistook it for a terrorist plane or some bullshit like that (don’t know how you can mistake a normal airline with a terrorist plane). It was called Iran Air Flight 655. Did I mention that we never received an apology?
5) Countless propaganda, calling us terrorists, literally fucking banning Iranians from a country even though we actually haven’t done shit, framing us as terrorists, Hollywood white washing us (Prince of Persia) or showing us as evil black people to make a super racist statement (300), or just showing us as plain terrorists lol (Rango).
America/the West has done every single thing thing they could do to destroy us. But no. We are beautiful people, beautiful culture, and we still stand strong. So fuck you guys.
