Why have the #U .S. and #Iran hated #each other for more than 70 years?
Hello friends! Every day, with us, learn a little more knowledge. More than 70 years have passed, the United States and Iran have always been at two extremes facing each other, threatening to strangle the other. Although there were a few times they tried to reconcile but failed. What was the reason that led to the deep enmity between them? Let's find out together.
When Mossadegh became prime minister of Iran in 1951, he made a decision that changed the country's destiny forever: to nationalize the oil industry. Before that, it was mainly in the hands of large British corporations.
According to many scholars, British companies in Iran generated the largest profits in the world at that time. Bitter because of the loss of the mines that they had worked so hard to explore and invest in, the British invited the US. Help us bring down Mossadegh and you'll get your fair share. Agree to do.
In 1953 a covert operation by British and American intelligence ousted Mossadegh in a coup and replaced it with pro-Western Mohammad Reza. Since then, Iran's huge oil fields have remained under the primary control of foreign companies.
In 1979, the religious leader Ruhollah Khomeini waged a revolution that overthrew Mohammad Reza and expelled him from the country. The Iranians are like a burning fire, they chant the slogan "Death to America" which translates into the original Persian meaning death comes to America.
Since then, this phrase has often been used by suicide bombers whenever they carry out a terrorist attack on American soil. In October of that year, President Jimmy Carter allowed King Mohammad Reza to enter the US for treatment of terminal cancer.
That infuriated the Iranians. A group of students stormed the US Embassy in Tehran and took more than 60 hostages. They asked the king to return to court for the crimes he had committed.
The United States refused and declared war by stopping Iranian oil and gas imports, freezing their eight billion dollars at the bank and calling for international condemnation. Despite the pressure, the Iranians did not release the hostages.
