Why Iran Hates America: A Fareed Zakaria Special
When the terrorist organization Hamas brutally attacked Israel and took dozens of hostages on October 7, 2023, it ignited brutal repercussions that have destroyed Gaza, imperiled Red Sea transit, and launched a bloody conflict that threatens to spread to neighboring nations – and allies on nearly every continent. Behind the stunning violence have been Iran and her proxies.
The special traces the roots of the current conflagration to Britain's post-World War II colonial embers. Zakaria discusses stunning evidence with contributors and reveals in declassified and leaked documents that American and British intelligence – including a grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt – fomented a coup in 1953 that led to the deposing of Iran's prime minister. The operation ultimately backfired, leading to the Iranian Islamic revolution that continues to have consequences for the entire Middle East.
Zakaria explores with others how, after a bloody war with Iraq supported by the United States, Iran's ruling mullahs determined that Iran needed nuclear weapons of its own to survive. Iran's anti-Western, feverishly theocratic rulers "needed" to also be specifically anti-American to survive.
