This is incorrect. In 1953, the United States overthrew the democratically elected PM and installed a dictator. The Islamic Revolution was a response to that.

It is oversimplistic to say the Islamic Revolution was a response to that, because the Shah was already gone when Khomeini returned from exile. Rather, the general Iranian Revolution (with its heavy involvement of Communists and other secular movements) was a response to the Shah's dictatorship, and then the subsequent Islamic Revolution was a taking advantage of the resultant power vacuum.

I see, thanks.
Anyway, it does not disprove my point about countries which became dependent on US, and civil wars where one party is supported by the US.
Iran problems began with islamic revolution, and USA had nothing to do with it, no?
> Afghanistan was better of before US took it
Which conflict you are talking about? War in Afghanistan started almost 50 years ago.
> now Taliban controls more territory then they did before US came in
Yeah, the US need to finish what it started. I think Trump decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan was a mistake.
