And, most of them don't know the US tried three times to murder Prime Minister Mossadeq for a heinous crime against humanity: Nationalizing While Non-White/Non-Christian.
Only White Christian nations like Britain and the Netherlands and Norway are allowed to have nationalized oil companies. For non-Whites or non-Christians it's a crime worse than genocide.
Having failed, the US then embarked on a propaganda smear campaign against Mossadeq and put him on trial in a kangaroo court on trumped up charges.
Then, when the Shah told Ambassador Bill Sullivan he was abdicating because he had pancreatic cancer and he didn't want his two sons to rule, the Shah and Sullivan agreed that Khomeini should be the next leader of Iran. Sullivan was holding secret back-door negotiations with Khomeini, who was living in Paris.
When the French DGSE find out, they leak this info, and that's what starts the demonstrations. The Shah was right to want to restore order before abdicating and handing over the reigns to Khomeini, but the only way the Shah knew how to end demonstrations was to use the military to brutally suppress them.
All Carter had to do was throw out the welcome mat for Khomeini and everything would have been fine.
Instead, Carter stupidly listens to his two psychopath neo-con advisors Gary Sick and Zbigneiw Brzezinski and sends General Huyser to convince Iranian army commanders to initiate a coup have the military take power.
When Khomeini arrives in Tehran, there's Huyser and the army officers. Khomeini knows the US is talking out of both sides of its neck and probably correctly guessed that he'd be targeted for assassination.
Whatever trust existed between the US and Khomeini evaporated right then and there.
Later, Khomeini executed all 7 of those army officers who met with Huyser, and also the head of the SAVAK who had tortured and murdered Iranians for decades.
Note that Carter's actions are an act of war, and using the embassy mission strips it of protections under the Vienna Convention, so the students were within their right to over-run the embassy mission and take it over.
Imagine if Clinton had been convicted, and before Al Gore was sworn in as President, the French sent an army officer to the US to convince the US military to take over the country.
What do you think Americans would do?
Americans would go on a rampage and destroy everything French in the US and even anything that sounded like it might be French. You still wouldn't be able to buy a bottle of French wine in the US today.
That just shows you how hypocritical Americans are.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
