Wow. It’s great that you have friends to give you the inside scoop. As a civvy I only have MSM and the internet, which we all know is the same as being blindfolded.
I wanted to bring up another point: Before the Iranian revolution of 1979 the country was run by a shah (king) Reza Pahlavi or something like that. He was put in place by US and SAS (Brit) forces. They did this by overthrowing a democratically elected leader (Mosaddeq)! This was back in 1953. Yes, they/we (SAS and CIA) destroyed democracy in Iran, who had it way back in 1953. Google it, this is no secret or conspiracy theory.
Long story short, the Shah/king they replaced the Iranian democracy with was considered a western puppet which led to the revolution. That’s when these “Supreme leader” Ayatollah jerk-wads came about. We are paying the price for our own mistakes IMO.
I’ve never been to Iran but I’ve been to Guatamela where very similar things were done by the CIA. I can tell you it’s eye-opening to see the perspective they have and hear their stories.
