Iran and America have been locked together for 200 years, and it did not start with
nuclear weapons.
On September 1st, American jets hit seven places inside Iran. Iran fired back the same
day. Eleven people were killed, five of them at a wedding.
Every outlet covering it says the same thing. Nukes. Religion.
But the real story starts in 1828, with one quiet clause at the bottom of a treaty
after Persia lost a war to Russia. Persia handed over land that is now Armenia and
Azerbaijan, paid 20 million silver roubles, and lost the right to sail on its own sea.
Then it happened again. And again.
1890, the Shah sells every leaf of to***co in the country to a British major, and the
entire nation shuts down until he takes it back. The one time Iran wins.
1901, a broke and sick king sells the rights to drill for oil across 1.2 million square
kilometres of Persian land to a British millionaire who never set foot in the country.
Iran keeps 16 percent.
1907, Britain and Russia carve Iran into zones without asking. Iran finds out after it
is signed.
1914, Churchill converts the Royal Navy from coal to oil, and the British government
buys the company. Iranian oil is now powering a foreign navy.
Iran still gets 16 percent.
Part 2 covers what America was to Iran before 1953, and the sentence that appears twice
in this story, 136 years apart.
Which of these do you think did the most damage?
