Summary Thomas focuses on the long-growing enmity between the American and Iranian governments, popularly reflected in media and propaganda. It started when the US helped protect the British oil interests in Persia by toppling the democratic republic to help install the shah, who was ousted by Khomeini's Islamic revolution. Since then Washington demonized the ayatollahs, who inspired the 444 embassy hostage taking, but never even apologized properly for the strait of Hormuz 'incident' when an Iranian passenger flight was shot down by an aircraft carrier. The sanctions and nuclear deal coincided with opposite alliances, culminating under Trump with the appointment as National security Advisor of John Bolten, who promised supporters regime change in Teheran by 2019, as 'only solution'. It looks like hatred and grudges will remain and be cultivated, as by memorial victim graves, a US singer and war movie productions.
