Yes, we meddled with Iranian politics in the 1950’s as well. The point remains that we were clearly involved in Iranian politics well throughout the 1970’s with our support of the Shah. But again, back to the central point: the Iranian regime will use any U.S. support of the protests to paint this uprising as a U.S. backed revolution. And that will not do anything but legitimize crushing this “revolution” or whatever you wish to call it at this point.
