No, it exists, they just need to photoshop it into maps

I lived in Iran in the ’70s. Iranians were very pro-American and pro-French, but anti-British and anti-German. When the Shah went into exile in January 1979, one million international workers were employed in Iran.

When the hardliners took over, a lot of people became religious in a hurry. The Ayatollah Khomeini went on a frenzy of mass murder. My landlord and his family were slaughtered for their pro-Shah association.

When the American Embassy workers were taken hostage in late 1979, men from a poor town south of Iran were bussed in and paid to protest outside the bldg. The international media had a field day. So did the U.S. media. When the cameras weren’t rollling, the men didn’t protest.

There are some very brave people in Iran, and some riveting memoirs that you might want to read. The Shah of Iran published his memoirs in 1980. He lamented the daily reports of loss of life, and wrote, after all the negative press against him and Iran’s former Constitutional Monarchy: “…[T]he U.S., and indeed most Western countries, had adopted a double standard for international morality: anything Marxist, no matter how bloody and base, is acceptable, the policies of a socialist, centrist, or right-wing goverment are not.”

During Khomeini’s orgy of killing, the Shah saw the lists of people who died. No Communist names were mentioned. But Communism was a prevalent force in Iran.
