Terrorist attack by hamas a brutal Surprise Attack . By hamas in israel israel, whos firing back, was followed by a horrific retaliation in gaza now there are fears of a wider war and america has a target on its back the iranbacked Rebels Stryker us own shift at the center of the fears of a wider conflict is iran it is linked to hamas there has too, the who team all part of its Axis Of Resistance why is iran at the center of this conflict in so many ways and why this relentless hostility to america to answer those questions, we need to go back decades and try to understand why iran hates america good evening. Im Fareed Zakaria. Iran in the United States shared deep psychic and emotional scars going back years but none is remembered more by americans than the Hostage Crisis of 1979 we watch what appeared to be an irrational, furious attack and wondered why or how anyone would act this way . But to iran taking the hostages was completely rational given the history that led up to that moment in November 1979 iranian students stormed the us embassy in teheran, turning it into a prison for American Embassy staff the gang revolutionary spent months in the embassies basement trying to piece together evidence of past american misdeeds why . Because decades earlier, that basement was where american and british spies had plotted a coup against what had long been a close ally youre on the us from 18, 52, 1950, had the best relations the man seen here, Shaking Hands with president harry truman in 1951, was irans Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh he was very adept at the theater of politics, who is a great orator. He was incorruptible for years Chris Mossadegh had complained about the agreement that had given the british control of irans oil resources. The vast majority of revenue for your own, you all would go to the british government, not to the people of iran. There was probably almost 9010 but in a, momentous decision, the parliament voted to nationalize the oil industry. Then elected mossadegh as Prime Minister. One month later as soon as he nationalized the oil, the british decided that they want to overthrow him to Truman Administration has stopped him and said, no, this has to have a diplomatic solution. So from 51 to 53, there is an effort by the us to broker a diplomatic agreement between the british and iran harman, along with Us Ambassador grady san her seeks to end the oil dispute between breton and iran the agreement never materialized. The United States was in the early years of tensions with the soviet union, the cold war among their battles for supremacy, the two superpowers were fighting for dominance in the middle east. Oil deposits underlying iran soil gave the soviet premier good reason for him designs on this militarily helpless nation. There were many different political groups inside iran at that time. And one of the most powerful was called the to their party, which was basically irans Communist Party which was heavily funded by the soviet union. And so the United States worried about the possibility of said theyre siding with the to their party washingtons Russian Embassy drones are lavish index, but most important guest present as the premier of iran mohammad more today, the us was determined to keep communism them out and to keep iranian oil flowing to the Western World so the british and The Americans plotted to take down most adek it was plotted in the british and american embassies. The british worked with agents of the cia, a grandson of Teddy Roosevelt kermit roosevelt, to undertake a coup against this government the u. S. s involvement in the coup is detailed and government documents that malcolm burned shared with me at the Nonprofit National security archive where he is Deputy Director and director of research and these are documents that are original Us Government documents written at the time, classified. And through a variety of we means you have managed to get them either declassified or some reporter essentially got them leaked right . Thats what these documents are, right part three, covert and overt action. This is the coup so eisenhower proves it a lemon july 1953 Prime Minister of england approves one july 1953 yeah, thats amazing. Key to the plot was convincing Shah Mohammad reza pahlavi, the monarch who ruled iran, to personally take action to oust more also deck august 15 at midnight, soldiers narcan most adult store and deliver an letter to him, dismissing him from the role of the Prime Minister in the morning, he goes on the radio. He says there was a coup attempt against me most of the uk refused to accept his dismissal from office and fought back and on his orders, troops occupied the chinese palaces and surrounding parliament the show, who was waiting to see what happens fleas, youre on immediately on august 19, the tide turns against monsanto, former premier muscle decks, ruined house is a mute testimony to three days, a bloody rioting culminating in a military coup, a show who had fled to rome comes home back, by general zahidi, military strongman, Who Engineered is returned to power after the coup succeeded most of that was convicted of treason sentenced to prison, than spent the rest of his life under house arrest as for the show he started consolidating power, becoming more and more of an autocrat. He runs democratic experiment, was over. Throughout the decades of the shahs reign iran kept a very Good Relationship with israel. They traded oil that kind of relationship between a Muslim Country and israel was, it was very important just as a Bordine To America was continuing to limit soviet influence inside iran. The United States, or worried that in countries like iran where there was enormous Wealth Disparity it was going to empower communism because people would see this Wealth Disparity and say, there should be equality and so for that reason the us pushed the show to enact these different reforms. Basically trying to promote more economic equality and Gender Equity inside iran the White Revolution, as it was known, was not universally embraced in iran one of the most vocal critics was a shia cleric and future leader of another revolution ruhollah khomeini. He resented the land reform, which was were going to take land away from the clergy and he in particular resented any gender equality. Khomeinis rhetoric would help foment wider dissent that lead to rioting Government Forces eventually quash the riots and imprisoned for mainly before exiling him the shot remained prowestern surrounding himself with an elite class that was western educated and oriented. Many of his admittedly progressive reforms created friction with irans more conservative Muslim Population and then there were many who are bitter about not benefiting from the White Revolution reforms. Whats more . There was growing resentment of the chars lavish lifestyle, which was epitomized by one Extravagant Party in 1971 this huge celebration that honored the 2,500 years of monarchic rule of people from All Over The World flew in and maxims and perez provided the food and they had the finest european crystal. And it wasnt many ways that celebration of the monarchy that alienated so many. But any discontent would be putting down by the chars ever more repressive regime. Could a generalist in iran to criticize his majesty . He could, but i dont think that he would and his secret police, the savant, were brutal hundreds, thousands of iranians were executed putin disappeared yet the shaws mistreatment of his citizens did not deter thousands of americans who enjoyed living in iran. I first went to iran in 1973. There were casinos. Fashion was at its height. What was a place where an american felt very comfortable . Lay where an american president jimmy carter would give this toast on new years eve. There. Because of the great leadership. But the shop this an island of stability and one of the more troubled areas of the world. Before long, that illusion of stability would be shattered in december 1978, its wrongs of protesters demanded the removal of the show and the return of roe whole lot khomeini, five weeks later, the shye and his family fled to egypt its a day a boss melannie remembers, well, and that day i want to see whats happening in the streets. There was joining the street. People were passing around images of but fleming then they got The Real Thing with khomeinis return to iran, watching khomeini step off the plane and he was so mob they actually had to kind of scurry him off still. There was unrest. The us embassy was attacked and although this time the mob eventually left, it was a harvard drove what was to come eight months later after president jimmy carter allowed the now exiled shah of iran to come to the us for Cancer Treatment the xia had kept his sickness a secret. So some suspicion began to grow that the cancer issue is excuse iranians did not believe the show was ill and worried that the us would return him to power. I think theres a Straight Line that could be drawn from 1953 to 1979. The fact that the popular government of Mohammad Mosaddegh was toppled through a british an american crew created fears in 1979 that the us would try to do the same thing and admitting the shaw and to the us was the trigger for the revolutionaries to try to prevent that from happening. By taking hostages coming up. After the shot that was hoped for democracy.

Forget that the trigger for the for the taking of the us embassy was a very specific decision that jimmy carter may in october 1970 in nine president jimmy carter agreed to admit the shock to the United States for Cancer Treatments. The shah of iran is in a new york City Hospital tonight an american government, sir Kristen Washington says the deposed Iranian Monarchy is suffering from cancer and a blocked bile duct. But the iranians did not believe the show was sick. They had another more sinister theory there was a big fear among the revolutionaries that the United States and the shaw might try to pull another coup a coup that would involve the us placing the sharp back in power and putting an end to the revolution iranian students took over the us embassy in teheran to look for direct proof of the american plot and to demand that the us extradite the show to stand trial for what they considered were his crimes against the iranian people and if president carter does not release the show fight to fight nearly six months into the Hostage Crisis the us launched operation eagle claw a Covert Mission to rescue the 52 hostages, which ended in a devastating crash. Eight Us Service Members laid dead in the Persian Desert a humiliation for the american people, hopelessness for the hostages, for romania and his disciples. The failed Rescue Attempt was a divine victory. And further proof that The Americans could not be trusted lilly iranians had been caught completely by surprise. They capitalized on the failure of the rain. Some of their leaders could not resist lording it over The Americans shot consolidation mad man at me on while irans religious hardliners were dead set against influence from the west. Irans moderates had been moving their country towards democracy with the support of much of the population the overwhelming sense of the day of the revolution was that this was the beginning of a democratic era democracy system based on islamic values an affidavit and there were individuals that people hoped could emerge as leaders of democratic country one such leader was a popular moderate who was appointed to be first Prime Minister of the provisional government, has named Maddie Bizarre Gun and later the moderate able hasan bunny sadler became the Islamic Republics first president the two were devout muslims. And advocates of islamic democracy human rights, and social justice. But it did not take long for whom many in his religious hardliners to turn against this liberal vision. They were not going to let this provisional government turn iran into a Secular Democratic state from any used the Hostage Crisis and the showdown with the United States to isolate and sideline the new provisional government to consolidate authoritarianism. Pan tilt the country even further against the us. And it was very machiavellian about it. Prime minister bizarre gun, who was opposed to the hostagetaking recognized that the momentum was with khamenei, and he resigned shortly after the embassy was seized president bunny sadler was impeached in june 1981 and i think everyone underestimated khomeini i think people thought that he was going to be this pacifist religious leader and once the monarchy was overthrown in iran, he would simply retreat to form and become a spiritual later instead, it was just the beginning of khomeinis reign of terror. A Government Takeover marked by repression and brutality zero tolerance, theocratic regime under the rule of a religious leader philosopher king, who would but guide society and tell people how to live according to islamic values khamenei and his new government ruthlessly consolidated their Power Targeting officials from the shas, former administration revolutions eliminate the old order by putting it to the soar. Its oftentimes the individuals who are most affected active in mobilizing violence who prevail and khomeini was that person in iran. And if he calls you to fight a holy war, what will you do . I do eat. But how will you do it . Do you have the weapons . Yes, we have khomeini created revolutionary committees to purge key figures accused of being enemies of the revolution. They all wanted to eliminate all the top bureaucrats, technocrats political appointees, political activists, journalists who, who were accused of being close to the monarchy, Armed Citizen Militias were organized, empowered to carry out summary justice. A revolutionary court was established to adjudicate cases in a bogus legal system. The newfound revolutionary government Under Khomeini was really in the business of retribution, not justice. The Western Press dubbed the notorious head of the court that hanging judge, who swiftly declared individuals guilty and sentenced many to death after the birth of the monarchists, khamenei turned on the leftists and socialists. There was imprisonment torture, and public hangings, Firing Squirts Mass executions. And forced confessions and grids of arrests and executions not only of mujahideen, but also of marxistleninist and maoist monarchists and members of ethnic and religious minorities iranian exiles estimate up to 30,000 people were killed during that countrys period of repression. This created an atmosphere of terror among iranians who quickly had buyers remorse. They started to realize that this new revolutionary government was going to be far more brutal then the government, which they helped to overthrow overnight, everyday, iranians lost their freedoms and were forced to conform the khomeinis radical brand islam. He wanted to control all aspects of peoples lives inside youre on how you can dress, what you can eat, what you can drink what music you can listen to, what movies you can watch, whether you can go out with your boyfriend or girlfriend, samesex relationships became a Capital Offense a big part of the Cultural Revolution in iran was the role of women under her. Many women were relegated to a life of quote motherly duty. All of a sudden, women werent allowed to show their hair. They had to cover their bodies and that really was an obsession for the islamist in some ways, the hijab, the mandatory veiling of women, became the flag of the Islamic Republic, the chief way to distinguish postrevolutionary iran from prerevolutionary iran. Marriage divorce, custody of children, and the like inheritance. They all became much more favorable to men in accordance to religious law a Special Police Force was established to enforce islamic laws. They set up these morality police. They could read peoples homes to check and see if there was kahal, to chicken, see if there are watching Contraband Movies or reading contraband books. And they could essentially arrest and intimidate people that will many of these laws there are effects still exist in iran today. Look, i think if you had portrayed the reality of Islamic Republic today to people who were for, on the streets and 1979, the revolution would not have succeeded theres still willing to kill young woman and beat young women who go to the streets showing too much hair. And even when it triggers a national uprising, theres still not willing to make any meaningful political reforms the islamophobe cation of Iranian Society after 1979 became known as he runs Cultural Revolution. Command his Economic Policy the seas, which included the Government Takeover of key sectors of the economy stunted growth. And sometimes line the pockets of the new regimes all this was too much for many in irans middleclass and iran saw the greatest exodus of people in its modern history.

And a good part of the town the brain child of its brutal dictator, Saddam Hussein same saddam had recently become president of iraq and launched a Merciless Berge of his rivals. He hoped to become the leader of the entire arab world this first move conquer iran with its vast Resources Of Oil Saddam was smelling blood there was a triumphant and your mouth as welcome into iran today for the Ayatollah Khomeini the Islamic Republic was weak less than a year rolled notching the general, not very and much of its Military Brass had been wiped out by Ayatollah Khomeini, who feared a coup. Iraqi troops push 20 miles into a rat as the rockies poured over the border. The young Iranian Regime faced an existential threat but eight. Years and hundreds of thousands of deaths later rage far as the eye can see, martyred for khomeini and the revolution iran had survived the tide of the war has turned sharply against iran. Its standing all that saddam and the west could throw its way the ayatollah turned the conflict into a crusade for god. It was that war that made iran that toward its current leaders, valuable lessons. Never be Outgunned Hezbollah has been supported by iran never be alone in the world Iranbacked Houthis and always think twice about giving up the ultimate trump card. Nuclear weapons the Iran Iraq War was certainly the the most formative experience that most of the iranian leadership has had. We think of iran as aggressive, which it has been. But from the iranian perspective, they believe they are reacting to the aggression of others Saddam Husseins forces vastly outmatched iran and captured a major border city soon after invading the main city of shock does not seem to the full into iraq, but surprisingly, iraq body iran would be a pushover. The fledgling Iranian Regime held firm led by their newly formed Revolutionary Guard, thousands of young iranians have taken up arms against the iraqis. Guerrilla warfare by young revolutionary volunteers with the regular army. Chaotic can demoralized the iranians had to rely on this likely armed but fanatical militia they use very unconventional methods, including almost like kamikaze attacks against iraq, key positions. Iran doesnt have enough friends to keep it supply iran was orderly, isolated because of fears. It will export its fanaticism backed only by syria and libya among arab nations, iraq is getting everything it needs iraq had most arab states support as well as that of the soviet union. But enough said dana hussein, whos really iran standing alone against the rest of the world. And it has defined its Security Strategy ever since meanwhile, washington faced are hard quandary it had no love for saddam. But did he did iran more so the cia sent an agent of baghdad with valuable intelligence, beginning a yearslong us relationship with Saddam Hussein, our support of saddams sane during their honor, or i think it was disgraceful iraq launched devastating Missile Strikes against iran cities iraq is believed to be firing ten missiles for every one of iran, Raining Hell Fire on civilian populations says hes 17 years old, his boyish face suggest otherwise meanwhile, the outmatched ayatollah was sending untrained men and boys to fight sometimes even without weapons, 25,000 iranian soldiers squared off against the rocky tanks and artillery you hours later, only 250 iranians were alive this is one of the primary reasons they developed a Ballistic Missiles program. Theres a long historical memory of how vulnerable iran could be at moments of weakness the latest battlefield for Chemical Weapons then the iran experienced a nightmare that display of civilian victims of any poison gas as attack. Saddams unconscionable attacks with Chemical Weapons thousands suffered a horrific demise. This is the show oh, face of a regime that very unfortunately the United States administration is supporting the west knew about the strikes and did little to stop them Us Intelligence may even have helped iraq hit its targets the decision not to stand up to Saddam Hussein for his use of Chemical Weapons, i think was a very costly mistake. And it helped the Iranian Regime to have a moral upper hand. Every time they Iranian Regime has done something egregious to its own people. Or in the region. They say, but what about saddam was saying, how come you didnt do anything about santos . Iran also feared saddams Nuclear Ambitions or fears shared by israel when it struck an iraqi reactor the shah of iran had been pursuing the bomb. The Islamic Revolutionaries had actually ended the program the deadly nerve gas had been found on gulf battlefields. But all of that changed in the Iran Iraq War. The ryan decided to relaunch the shas Nuclear Program. Iran is enrich Uranium Particles to nearly 84 and decades later, iran is free frighteningly close to becoming a nuclear power. Potentially produce a nuclear bomb in less than two weeks if Saddam Hussein had been justified i believe punished for the use of Chemical Weapons the configuration might have been different. The consequences were profound the exact hour of the cease fire from masks comes to the call to prayer, special prayers for peace the war ended in a bloody stalemate with little gain, but 1 million casualties but iran had survived. Its baptism by fire. I had total, how many his pledge to defeat the superpowers with the power of faith the war and its heroes are now part of its law euros of Fallen Soldiers everywhere in the country, clearly was about todays senior officials. Many of them veterans of the war have applied its lessons with its arsenal of missiles. This is video showing a helicopter belong into houthi rebels. Its proxy forces.

Com, United States of scandal with jake tapper tonight at nine on cnn mr. Speaker, the president of the United States terrorist underworld including groups like hamas hezbollah, Islamic Jihad yes, she muhammad operates in remote jungles and deserts and hides in the centers of large cities. Nearly five months tonight, 11 president George W Bush went on the offensive in his 2002 state of the union address, north korea as a Regime Arming with missiles and Weapons Of Mass Destruction, iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror. Iraq continues to flan us hostility toward america and to support terror. States like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil arming to threaten the peace of the world, of precedential threat granted three countries as the axis of evil and we all know what happened next air raid if sirens blared before dawn and baghdad the First American marines had moved in march 2003 us forces invaded iraq vowing to destroy its Weapons Of Mass Destruction and put an end to Saddam Husseins dictatorial rule by. But it was all a historic mistake. It turns out, so we were all wrong there were no Weapons Of Mass Destruction. And the invasions set off a firestorm of violence and vitriol for you, stoking antiamerican sentiment throughout the middle east, iran sees itself as a part of the axis of evil. So it begins to feel that it has to create a defensive policy against a potential attack. Iran shifted to its Axis Of Resistance a Forward Defense Policy that has been its protector for more than 40 years. Iran became a major presence in iraq army shiite militias that viciously attacked american soldiers when almost all us troops withdrew in 2011, those militias became an integral part of it. Iraqs army, one of the things which the Islamic Republic has managed to do is to mobilize proxy forces. Iran was a portion shiite islamic nation facing a seal the Sunni Islamic arab states, backed by america. So it cobbled together a coalition of allies many of them non sunni throughout the region egypt the best example of that was the advent of Lebanese Hezbollah byproduct of israels 1982 invasion of lebanon on the whole idea was to mobilize some shiites and create a militia so the Iranian Revolutionary guards created the embryo of what became his bullock, the party of god iran exploited the chaos during times of crisis and conflict and built an empire of proxy forces across the middle east in lebanon groups like hezbollah, the crown jewel of irans Forward Defense Policy in gaza, hamas and Islamic Jihad largely responsible for the october 7 attack on israel in yemen, the houthis who have conducted Missile Strikes to disrupt Shipping Lanes and global trade in syria, a Paramilitary Group called shebee, her organized by president bashar alassad. And in iraq and syria, Shia Militias, they all act as a conduit and an enforcer to convey runs message to the world iran would recruit train, organized these Militia Groups who had a string tj, icc, and a tactical relationship with iran. Java will receive funding for Military Weaponry and they would also be integrated into a command and control structure. Sure. Of the posts force quds force is the most elite part of irans Revolutionary Guard responsible for growing in the Axis Of Resistance. That task fell on the broad shoulders of notorious Quds Force Commander qasem soleimani, who took great offense at birth she has axis of evil label. Here was a person who has just hated by the west and buy american officials because he has the leader of most efforts that have involved threats to the United States. A Rocket Attack on the Baghdad Airport kills their wrongs. Most revered military leader, when the us Assassinated Soleimani in 2020, the result might have backfired, Galvanizing Iran and its allies. It was actually in many ways blaze of goldmine because instead of him being killed by someone on an isis is being assassinated by the great satan iran is not a hedger monic power. I would say is an opportunistic power, and 1982 israeli invasion of lebanon created hizballah in 2000 three us invasion of iraq, creating an opportunity for iran to develop a network of Shia Militias in iraq 2015, saudi Invasion Of Yemen created an opportunity for iran to double down on its relations with the houthis in yemen. But has this proxy strategy worked for iran . I sat down with irans president Ebrahim Raisi and pushed him on this subject or country that used to be one of the richest countries in the region. Now looks backward in comparison us, iran seems more isolated. Is it worth the price you have paid to have taken all these positions that you will have taken in the situation brought about by The Americans in syria. Was syria successful or america certainly syria, in afghanistan when its on my board, the people of afghanistan successful who are the United States of america certainly theyre able of ascanius time. You iraq, where the iraqi successful or the United States of america certainly that iraq is now, were in the region, has america been successful if iran youre going to want who has succeeded and today, he runs the Axis Of Resistance, looks more menacing than ever up next, my own thoughts on where all this goes candidate john edwards cheated on his cancerstricken wife, had a baby with his girlfriend, and then tried to pass it off as the Campaign Staffers kid were here to get your side of the story United States of scandal with jake tapper.

No matter what happens in the world, the fall of communism, the rise and fall of jihadism somehow this relationship seems destined to stay the same. Y. And could it change . There are two ideas that often underpin american strategy that should be dispelled. The first is that the Iranian Regime will collapse and suddenly morphed into a proamerican ally as it was the sharp. Its not that this is impossible repressive regimes are often more fragile than they seem. But premising a strategy on our hope is not a sound bath for in addition, its worth looking at americas recent experiences with Regime Change in iraq, afghanistan libya, and beyond to recognize, that even after the end of a bad regime, things do not always steadily improve in fact, look at washingtons relations with moscow more than three decades after that system collapsing. It is not worked out as many had wished the second idea or hope is that the us and the current government in iran can be friends. The true days iran is a very proud and nationalistic country, deeply imbued food with a sense of its own historical grandeur. Recall that the empire that was a precursor to modern iran was one of the few forces that held its own in traveled with the roman empire at different points. Ancient persians ruled over much of what is now the arab world with all its current dysfunction in poverty iran is the air, the one of the great civilizations of the world which means pride and prickliness. In addition, the Islamic Revolution pollution is antiamerican in its dna. The ayatollahs who run iran have constructed an ideology that permeates the regime. And that is as much about the importance of religion as it is about the importance of resisting american. They justify their repression by declaring that they must resist the liberty in and decadent ways of the west there are of course some strong ideas and emotions that underpin americas hostility to iran washington has viewed the fall of the shazzy run as a deep betrayal from which has never really recovered. It has always funded hard to deal with nationalism and antimodern reactionary ideologies. But ruling out Regime Change or friendship, is it possible to have a Working Relationship with iran . Not one that assumes victory or conversion or a happy marriage, but rather uneasy coexistence that proposition has been attempted only briefly and never consistently reagan took some tentative steps in that direction, famously, trading arms for hostages. But it all exploded after 911, iran took some important steps to cooperate with washington in afghanistan in helping to set up new government. Ut once George W Bush branded them part of the axis of evil, those overtures collapsed. The most significant effort was made made by barack obama and irans then president hassan rouhani, who both spoke of creating a new relationship. It was not friendship as irans foreign minister, javid zarif pointed out to me the Iran Nuclear Deal was premised, not on trust, but on mistrust. Each side carefully protected its interests in that document. But it did create the possibility of a Working Relationship. And iran did adhere to the deal, moving further away from a Nuclear Weapons program, than it had been for decades. But donald trump blew up that deal and that opportunity. And in iran forces opposed to the deal in any kind of rapprochement with washington, Game The Power sidelined rouhani. And now rule with an even more google fest can washington it there on fine, common cause again, it seems unlikely that fork in the road lies far behind us. The bath, both countries are on is one. They are both comfortable with despite the fact that it is filled with tensions. And misunderstandings and could even lead to war thank you for watching this special hour on iran.
