The whole breakdown in relations between the US and Iran really started with the US allowing the shah to flee to America (which even fucking
warned against), leading the Iranian revolutionaries conclude the US was planning to reinstate him (like they did before!), and they responded by taking hostages at the US embassy.
I've brought this up to people before, and gotten the response, "The shah was ill and came to the US for treatment, it was a humanitarian decision, the Iranians were just being paranoid."
Yet another reason to hate Jimmy Carter.
Its so funny too because, somewhat like W. Carter's crimes and malpractice is memory holed and overshadowed by his much worse successors when he was fucking demon! The more you learn about Carter the more you learn to hate just how fucking bad he was for how little he did but just by how much he even still managed to fuck up with 4 years of power.
He's History's greatest monster!
