"And after they were brought to Babylon" - Iran and CIA

On Tokyo Bay...

Iran & CIA

It is a long and complicated story how Iran today came to exist.

But on the most decisive occasion of foundation of today's Iranian national framework, the US failed.  Specifically, CIA failed.

The 1979 Iranian Revolution, which ousted the pro-American Shah and replaced him with the anti-American Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini, surprised the United States government, its State Department and intelligence services, which "consistently underestimated the magnitude and long-term implications of this unrest".[35] Six months before the revolution culminated, the CIA had produced a report, stating that “Persia is not in a revolutionary or even a "prerevolutionary" situation”[36] 

The Islamic revolutionaries wished to extradite and execute the ousted Shah, and Carter refused to give him any further support or help return him to power. The Shah, suffering from cancer, requested entry into the United States for treatment. The American embassy in Tehran opposed the request, as they were intent on stabilizing relations between the new interim revolutionary government of Iran and the United States.[28] 

Despite agreeing with the staff of the American embassy, Carter agreed after pressure from Kissinger, Rockefeller, and other pro-Shah political figures. The move was used by the Iranian revolutionaries to justify their claims that the former monarch was an American puppet, and this led to the storming of the American embassy by radical students allied with the Khomeini faction.

CIA failed in assessing the situation in Iran.  Influential people of the US, such as Kissinger and Rockefeller, misled the Carter Administration.  Since then, Iran became an enemy of the US and Israel.
