Remember that prior to President Carter, Iran was stable and making progress coming into the modern/Western world. When the Shah of Iran teetered, Carter pushed him into the abyss. Carter welcomed Ayatollah Khomeini who called the US "The Great Satan". Khomeini then took over the US Embassy and held the US workers hostage for 400+ days. Thus began the chain of evil events that brought us to the present nuclear precipice in the current Iran.....Thanks again President Jimminy Carter.
Iran (when it was still Persia) had a very robust economy, they were very advanced and kept up with the modern world. See what happens when the radicals overtake a country. They slide back into the dark ages.
Thanks again President Jimminy Carter.
Thanks Jimmuh for the malaise and the mollahs - and good riddance to you and your ilk
