Translated from Spanish
After carrying out the coup d'état in Iran in 1953 and dividing up the country's oil as if it were a pizza, imperialism established a monarchical dictatorship under the Shah that would last 37 years.
According to declassified CIA documents, when the Shah's dictatorship was about to fall in 1979, President Carter and the United States, faced with the threat of an imminent socialist revolution, paved the way for Ayatollah Khomeini and preferred an Islamic theocracy as the "lesser evil" to socialism.
Then, when they realized that the theocracy had turned out to be a flop and the Islamic revolution was also anti-Yankee, they began to spread propaganda and once again declared Iran an enemy, going so far as to finance and arm the dictator Saddam Hussein so that he would invade the country in 1988.
Imperialism has always used religion in the world as an anti-communist counterweight; the United States has never been interested in "democracy" in Iran, neither now nor before nor ever.
