The Ayatollah was a byproduct of the CIA's 1950's coup.



First of all: They didn't know that it was backed by the CIA until awhile later til they dethroned the Shah.

Second of all: Whether he knew about it or not does not dispel the fact that the people were not suffering from the placement of the Shah--Which was your point. The people suffered due to Ayatollah's lunacy, not from the regime switch.



Pariah, you're either lying or ignorant. Either way you're wrong. Everybody knew. Hell, I knew and I was just a young man who read the LA Times daily. Life under the Shah was no pik-nik either. Just ask any middle aged Iranian what they think of Savak. Do some research I'm not lying.
