Six Things You Didn't Know the U.S. and Its Allies Did to Iran

https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/04/07/10-things-didnt-know-weve-done-iran/It's hard for some Americans to understand why the Obama administration is so determined to come to an agreement with Iran on its nuclear capability, given that huge Iranian rallies are constantly chanting "Death to America!" I know the chanting makes me unhappy, since I'm part of America, and I strongly oppose me dying. But if you know our actual history with Iran, you can kind of see where they're coming from. They have understandable reasons to be angry at and frightened of us ... Unfortunately, not only have the U.S. and our allies done horrendous things to Iran, we're not even polite enough to remember it. Reminding ourselves of this history does not mean endorsing an Iran with nuclear-tipped ICBMs.
