    'Take Iran, never ruled there after all, its all their own doing.'

    Slightly economical with the truth there Barry!

    With the Russians in 1941 we invaded so we could use their railway system as part of our middle east campaign in WW11.

    1951 after the nationalisation of Iran's oil industry we firstly organised an oil embargo and then Winston Churchill convinced USA to join in plot too overthrow Iranian elected Government. This was completed in 1953 with the Shah replacing the elected leader and with his secret police, the SAVAK, and with western backing, managing to eliminate most political opposition.
