(33,982 posts)Whoopsie, forgot all about that whole CIA coup that overthrew their government, and then the period where we propped up a tin pot dictator, the Shah. A man who brutalized his own people, with OUR aid.
Yeah, time starts in 1979. Derp.

Iran: might eventually kinda get one nuke, and smuggle it over here somehow.
US: already has thousands of nukes, with proven intercontinental delivery systems.

(20,166 posts)I love how it says a "pro-western" gov't was overthrown by the revolution in Iran while completely glossing over how the US installed the brutal Shah regime after overthrowing a democratically elected government in 1953.
It's a good thing for these propagandists that the American public has next to zero historical context for anything more than a news cycle old.

(9,350 posts)The person behind this video decided to return to Bush Administration route of using the chance of a mushroom cloud to scare people. The details of this plan are meant to prevent the sight of any mushroom clouds. If all goes well Iran will not get a nuclear weapon.
