The policymaker of the united states in middle East made a grave mistake in orchestrating and shaping the events that led to the fall of the shah of Iran in 1979. This was primarily driven by the greed of oil companies such as BP, as well as media outlets like BBC,NBC,CBS , The Washington post, the new York Times, and many others. Undoubtedly, future generations will suffer the consequences of these action . A recent example of this unfortunately, occurred in New Orleans on the first day of the new year . God bless America .
