 So @Alex Gleason, given that you are Iranian, I wonder what your take is on the 1953 coup over AIOC, the period between with Mohammad Reza Shah, and the 1979 revolution (why).

My understanding was the 1953 coup (CIA TP AJAX) installed a pro-Western Shah (Mohammad Reza Shah) and somehow weakened the Majlis (can't recall how) and the 1979 revolution was to kick America out and they needed a strong force to do that... one that is now a bit too oppressive in domestic terms.  Correct me where I'm wrong.  I think the US/Israel want to put the Pahlavi monarchy back in power.

Or feel free to not comment. You don't have to have an opinion on everything nor share it publicly.  I was just curious, I like to get other perspectives. 
 I know nothing about what this conversation is about and am not replying to get involved 

BUT

with what arrogance America and Israel should even attempt, or worse accomplish, to dictate and orchestrate who gets to run another state?  

This BS attitude is at the heart of the horrors and hate manifesting in many a place around the globe past and present. 
 You need to understand they’re all in it together just like in 2020 the 5 L that came out against the PCR bullshit are no longer on this earth. They can take out anyone certainly in a public position anytime they want. It’s all just to show.
