it's funny (in the despairing way) to know that the current state of Iran and Russia is a direct result of US meddling

People need to get that it's "I can't do that because it's against my religion", not "You can't do that because it's against my religion".

Why it didn’t work out back then?

Because despite the rightness of the idea of a free society, bullets still beat everything else when it comes down to it.

plus, back then they were on their own. No internet coverage. No foreign outrage..etc. Hopefully itll be different in the modern world.

No. Islamic Revolution was a response (CIA literally calls it "blowback") to the US/UK backed autocoup in 1953 that overthrew Mossadegh

Hey my bad. Whenever I hear of a gov't over thrown I just assume it was the U.S. you know, like Jan 6th...

Entirely fair. The US has done more geopolitical manipulating since WW2 than some of the great empires have done in their entire history.
