Was Iran's revolution in 1979 organized by oil companies

[Orrin_73]

As you know shah reza pahlavi abdicated, according to the shah it was organized and paid for by the american and british oil companies? In his last interview he gave in panama he indirectly says that the revolution was done with the help of cia and the british. I found it very interesting. Does anyone heard about it?

1. I have my doubts. The Shah was an American puppet. Don't forget that

the US did overthrow the democratic Iranian government in 1953.

2. I kind of agree with this

The Shah was a good little dictator for us; I have a hard time beliving they wanted him gone.

3. I'm sorry dude...

I can't see the video on this PC, but this nomullas.com site you're linking is foul.

For instance:

Islam turns good men bad.Islam thrives on deception and craves death and destruction.It’s time you discovered why it’s not possible to be a good Muslim and a peaceful person. Yes it’s true, all Muslims aren’t terrorists—only the good ones are.the terrorists haven’t corrupted their religion ; Islam has corrupted them.There is no choice in Islam. There are no freedoms. The doctrine is named submission.

I'd rather not go on.

4. Im a muslim but I find shah's revelations

very interesting. He blames 2 oil companies, its 25:40 into the interview.

5. I think the Shah was passing blame on anyone but him ...

it was his M.O.

6. Isuspect that if he did say such a thing, it was to try to muster good

will with his own people by making Khomeini suspect, tying him with the deservedly despised CIA and oil companies (which actually, he was in league with). It was a failed ploy of an absolutist going down in flames.

7. No, but the 1953 coup against Mossadegh was. n/t
