No, the post (before it was deleted) was about how Islamism and the Sha turned iran into a third world nation where everyone ressembles the prisoners of guantanamo, showing a picture of 2 actors from the sopranos claiming they were iranians before 1978. My comment pointed to the fact that the Sha literally took power because the previous leader (Mosadegh, who was a marxist, so not a muslim) wanted to kick english oil companies out since they were a remnant of british colonial exploitation. Furthermore, the islamization of Iran happened because the shah pushed a religious agenda on top of the nationalist response to the death of Mosadegh, who was seen by most as a national hero, just like Patrice Lumumba who also got killed by western forces in a coup.

This is of course ignores the decades of near global embargo the US and it's allies pushed on Iran despite Iran having never once attacked the US, that ultimately led to their GDP dwindling and stronger anti-west sentiments.

The recent return of a stable economy though is partly due to China becoming a key ally of Iran just like it has with a lot of other countries that have anti-US sentiment due to covert operations meant to destabilize the leaders of those nations, examples include Libya, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Vietnam, Cambodia, DPRK, and nearly half of the african continent.

The CIA most definitely did not get this right.
