The rhetoric of the Islamic Republic identifies the 1956 coup as among the paramount grievances against the US. It therefore carries elevated importance from a standpoint of understanding seriously the Islamic Revolution.
Generally, you seem not to be understanding that the current political configuration in Iran has specific historical antecedents that are vastly more nuanced and and expansive simply than the observation that Islam is the dominant religion of the region.
I suggest you try learning to apply a critical historical lens, freed from a preconception that Islam is more relevant to various events than all other possible antecedents. You can understand the complex politics of any particular Muslim-majority society without being an apologist for Islam.
I showed you actual facts not the fan fiction you have created in your mind to justify your paraphilia with authoritative regimes and faiths.
I suggest you to start accepting facts when you are exposed to them instead of bending reality to your particular interests, whatever they may be. It's an useful skill when having conversations and discussions. You are lucky I am adamant on combating and enlightening the contraproducent and hypocritical defense of Islam along with educating actual Muslims about their oppressive and false faith otherwise I wouldn't have bothered fighting your pathetic attempt at history manipulation.
As emphasized, your selection of facts was cherry picked, and only of secondary relevance against the more general historical developments.
Regardless, your continued insistence that I am defending Islam reveals a narrowness that convinces of me of the impossibility of constructive discussion.
You may be adamant, but you certainly are arrogant.
In order to have a proper discusion you can't just point somewhere and say "it's that part fault" and when confronted with proof that it's not (and not just once, but once would be enough) you shouldn't point the finger to the person and say "cherry picked".
History is history, it's not "cherry picking", specially recent history. You have been spreading false information from the very beginning and I will never get tired of fighting falsehood either. It is fine to be wrong, it is not a crime, you can admit it and move on, you can also still defend islam because they are fighting the west and you hate the west (which is also fine, plenty of things to hate the west for) but considering how this thread started it would be weird because one side have, although not perfect, plenty of human rights and the other is an oppressive religion sustained sustained by, among other disgusting things, by child marriages.
You lack an understanding of sound historical analysis. Your arguments are not as persuasive as you insist.
I repeat my suggestion that you try to learn the broader history, perhaps relying on more diverse sources.
You are on a loop my man, go back to read my replies you may learn something although I doubt you are capable.
Bye, troll.
You discredit yourself with each reply. Nice.
