I mean that's not a great compliment anyway, considering every South Asian, Central Asian and West Asian country (with the exception of Turkey) are dirty poor and receive minimum education.

I love how this video continuously leaves out a lot of the key western involvement. Like completely leaving out that Khomeini took refuge in Paris and was supported by the west and the CIA and was flown into Iran by air france after western powers were salty that the Shah raised the oil prices. Very very convenient to just forget that the west brought Khomeini and this very same regime to power.

@@steadyzz2371 Edit: I reread your message and saw that you just said the US didn't want this to happen. I do apologise for the harsh comments, but yes you are right the US didn't want this to happen. Original: great you can think all you want when the facts are there. The Shah raised oil prices and turned away from the west leading to the first set of sanctions. You can read about all that. ( my father for example wanted to watch star wars in the cinema but Iran was sanctioned then ) . So no they had a fallout during the last years of the Shah. Then the western news in Iran started always pushing Khomeini. Add to it that Khomeini was harboured by the French and financially supported by the CIA (don't believe me? Look it up). Furthermore president Carter later admitted to it. The US brought this regime this is just a fact. They were the west's tool to stop the soviet sponsored communists who would have taken power else. Remember we were in the cold War. Khomeini then betrayed the US and stormed the embassy, prompting the hostage crisis. Now you can't just betray your sponsor and get away with it can you ? *dramatic music* Meet the Iraq war. Were the US sponsored Saddam Hussain, and supplied among other weapons also illegal weapons so that Saddam can Gas our people. It is irrelevant what people think in face with history. If you don't believe it you can search it up. This reminds me of when people start going like "but I don't believe the nazis could have killed 6 million jews" where the answer is, great , look it up and stop believing.

*_The Medians & Achaemenids_* called their Empire as *Airyanām Xsaça* *_The Parthians_* called their Empire as *Aryanxsathr/Aryanshahr* *_The Sasanians_* called their Empire as *Êranshâhr*

The term Iran derives directly from Middle Persian Ērān, first attested in a third-century inscription at Naqsh-e Rostam, with the accompanying Parthian inscription using the term Aryān, in reference to the Iranians.[41] The Middle Iranian ērān and aryān are oblique plural forms of gentilic nouns ēr- (Middle Persian) and ary- (Parthian), both deriving from Proto-Iranian language *arya- (meaning "Aryan", i.e. "of the Iranians"),[41][42] recognized as a derivative of Proto-Indo-European language *ar-yo-, meaning "one who assembles (skilfully)".[43] In the Iranian languages, the gentilic is attested as a self-identifier, included in ancient inscriptions and the literature of the Avesta,[44][d] and remains also in other Iranian ethnic names Alan (Ossetian: Ир Ir) and Iron (Ирон).
