    I’m not talking about Iran specifically, although I understand it wasn’t very clear in my first comment, but the region in general.

    Besides that, 1953 is quite a few decades ago, will they ever stand on their own feet or will they forever blame the past? Every country has had tragedies but unjust as it may be you have to move forwards

      So, not talking about Iran in particular in a post about Iran, just handwaving about “the region”, shows how much you understand the politics of Iran.

      What happened to Iran isn’t an isolated incident a few decades ago. The fact is that as soon as a government tries to rule itself to serve its people instead of western capitalists, it gets couped at best and bombed and invaded at worst. We’re seeing it today with Venezuela. The constant threat of invasion, coup and bombing is what makes these governments more repressive than they would be otherwise.
