Don't know why you are being down voted. I mean Iran had a democracy that was toppled by the CIA when they tried to nationalise their resources in favour of a puppet dictator. If the US cared so much about human rights why not go invade Saudi Arabia.

Go look at photos of the Iranian Revolution. You’ll see pictures of millions of Iranians involved.

It’s infantilizing to act like Iranians weren’t capable of their own decisions, or their own mistakes in this case.

This talking point that “the CIA did it“ has never been accurate.
