>Mr Rafsanjani drew a parallel with Iran's former shah whose regime was toppled by the 1979 revolution. He said: “We have seen it all before. The Saudis are spending billions on arms which they don’t have the capacity to absorb. At the same time they are facing rebellion at home they are trying to hide and a costly war in Yemen.
>“The Shah, too, spent billions of dollars buying arms from America, he too had capacity problems. We had 65,000 Americans in Iran, most of them in the armed forces. But then came the revolution and the weapons were used against him and his regime.
>"We watch what is going on in Saudi Arabia and I think the fate of the Saudi royal family will be the same as that of [the Shah’s dynasty] the Pahlavis. There is less and less space in the world for absolute monarchies like the Saudis”.

Any US president needs to tell the gulf monarchies what they want to hear since it guarantees they will continue to buy 10s of billions worth of weapons.
If Saudis told him to strip naked and jack off in front of cameras for another 50 billion $ purchase you think he would refuse?

But the revolutionary Iranian Muslims didn't overthrow the shah on their own, they were coordinated by CIA spies. Fuck is this guy arrogant.

No they werent this is a conspiracy theory from the Shahs supporters because they can't deal with the fact of how successful Khomeini was. Khomeini had support from almost everyone, including the communists and secular democrats. He was the focal point for the anti shah movement. The CIA mishandled the Shahs attempts to take the country back because they didn't understand Iran.

>Only country willing to stand up to Israel
>Yom Kippur War
>Arab–Israeli War
Iran sure does seem to help a lot against the Israelis. They even participated in the two listed Wars.
Iran is afraid because their Russian masters can't stop the economic recession in their country and Russia may lose whatever influence it has left
Ass-ad is already in a mess and Ukraine stopped being a Russian colony. Iran could be the next one to fall
Please don't cry too hard, /pol/
