Barry W,
Please refer to your history books. Iran (formally Persia, formally mesopotamia) was formally occupied by Great Britian and France during the first world war. Lawrence of arabia and all that, so yes we do have a certain amount of responsibility for developments down the years.
The shah of persia's peacock throne would have been a bit of a turkey without Britians military backing.
Better "Tommy Atkins"" than Ivan the terrible.
