Of what? Of America's duplicity? Iran already knows how America does not keep its word.

And then when the Shah of Iran was tired of Americans raking in all the prophets and wandered around to have some, we started funneling money to Ayatollah khomeini, supporting him in his theocracy to overthrow the Shah of Iran Iran already knows what America does. Iran has the right to be angry with americans. Americans took their society, which mirrored ours, and turned it into Sharia law. We did this.
