No wonder we have "problems" in Iran.
Then we gave France the go ahead to sell precursors to Saddam to make gas he can bomb Iran with, with targeting info from our military.
Then we call them "The Axis of Evil".
Who the hell is evil?

(2,541 posts)Our interference in Iranian politics from the coup to installing the Shah to our alliance with Saudi Arabia has given them plenty of legitimate reasons not to like us.
There is a very good 2 part program called Bitter Rivals from PBS Frontline on YouTube that is very well done and informative on the region and the centuries old conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia or more concisely between the Sunni and Shia. The conflict between the two have been on going for hundreds of years. I doubt there will ever be peace in the ME. Trump thinking Kushner was going to provide a solution is just another example of how uniformed he is.
