Iran Has Discovered Huge Deposits of Lithium: Let The Wars Begin
Read on…
Iran is in the eye of the storm.
Always has been.
When oil was discovered in what used to be known as Persia, the multi-national which became known as British Petroleum, was incorporated.
Iranian oil was the reason why Great Britain along with the allied forces in the first world war were able to defeat the Germans.
But as the age of empire gave way to the age of self determination and Persians became Iranians, they wanted full control of their destiny.
The Brits were understandably miffed by this and collaborated with the Americans in orchestrating a coup d’etat against its nationalist leader- Mohamed Mossadegh.
The ill feeling of the Iranian people against the west never went away.
Iran acted in tandem with its neighbours in the aftermath of the Yom-Kippur to set oil prices, which had the worst imaginable effect on Britain and America in the early 1970s.
And when the right moment came to exact its revenge, the Iranian people took matters to hand by revolting against the western puppet — Shah of Iran — who subsequently fled from the country, with Ayatollah Khomeini returning from exile to rule.
