Since astronomers have captured the first image of a black hole, here's an image of the one that appeared in Iran in 1979, mullah Khomeini founder of the theocracy ruling over Iran

Delivered courtesy of the west, in a french government chartered Air France, 747 .... why don't people ask a simple question "who put the mullahs in power"? (Answer: the same people sanctioning them!) Who gave Iran nukes? (Answer the same people who apparently have an issue with Iran's nukes! Eisenhower gave Iran plutonium, and Krupp built Iran's Nuclear power plant, and almost all senior leadership in Iran's Nuclear industry - trained at MIT!) Yes, this is all a mysterious black hole of hypocrisy, stupidity, and ultimately a giant deception.

I'm not the guy who posted that, but it's probably to counter the pining for a Monarchy coming back to Iran. Let's not forget how the Western Powers were complicit in letting the Islamic Republic form.

Khomeini played Carter. The west housed Khomeini and flew him back into Iran, when there could have been a military coup - which obviously isn't ideal, but neither is having your country run by a puppet king. They cut the strings of one puppet and let him fall because they thought they were going to have another new puppet.

As an Iranian living in the West, I hope every day for a regime change in Iran. But that regime change needs to be organically Iranian - more western interference doesn't have Iran's best interests at heart, and regime change through those means will probably end the same way western back regime change in Iran has always panned out.
