Let’s just not talk about how the US overthrew a democratically elected government and installed a puppet who was deeply unpopular and was later overthrown after a revolution which caused the current leader to be in power due to a power vacuum which then lead to deep sanctions from US and US allies so they’ve had to try and be self sufficient.
Someone needs to make a movie that kicks off with the Middle East having led the Industrial Revolution by capitalistic means of rapid production and innovation.

Still, Iranians were overall more satisfied under The Shah’s regime than those that followed.
