The West called Iran a "democracy" when British companies were draining its oil wealth. The moment Iran took it back, it became a terrorist state. In reality, the revolution in Iran was about nationalizing its oil which means for the West that they won't profit. You probably heard about BP oil? Gas stations? Well, that was Anglo-Persian oil company that profited British oligarchs, not Iranian people. CIA and MI6 overthrew the government in 1953 but in 1979 Iran took its government back and became an evil country once again.
