I believe you could call the British involvement with Iran, "Indirect rule". From what I can remember off the top of my head is they establish BP there and put the Shah as a puppet ruler , that is before the Iranian Revolution exiled him. I guess my question is did the British really lose out of their influence in "Iran" at that point? Who financially support the Khomeni fella? Was he not educated in France and left from there to take over power in Iran in 1979? Seems strange, for a wester power france to kind of aid him like they did.
Anybody can tell me basically the history of British power in Persia , how it was come about and how it got its "independance" (kind of)?
This new president they have is the new "boogey man"? where did he come from? who hired him?
