>>3423249>how carter/the US got tricked by him.He promised what Carter wanted to hear, while doing the exact opposite.
>"We'll sell oil to everyone apart from Israel and South Africa"Cancels all agreements, never sells oil to the US, huge oil crisis of 1979.
>"We will not export the revolution, no interference in other people's affairs"Interferes, destabilises the region and proclaims "We will export our revolution to the entire world, this is an islamic revolution"
>"We feel closer to you, not the Russians, we'll take american investment"Accepts zero american investment, buys weapons and nuclear tech from Russia.
>"We'll be a tolerant islamic republic"Religious minorities flee the country, civil rights set back 50 years.
I mean what's to prove exactly? That Khomeini promised one thing and did the opposite? Is that not tricking?
The only way for Carter to not have been tricked, is to already have known Khomeini would turn against him and still support him. Do you think this paints a better picture of Carter?
