    There is certainly a lot of bad the USA intelligence agencies have done in the past, but the current administration of Iran has been around in various forms for 45 years and it’s backed economically and militarily by Russia and China, blaming anything happening there today on the USA is insanity.

    That would be like me blaming the Chinese for the state of Israel because of some shit happening on that soil during WWII.

        You mentioned “outdated American plans”. I searched around a fair bit but wasn’t able to find any indications that Iranian dams were built using American dams as reference. Do you have a source for that?

          I think perhaps this is a misunderstanding and they were simply stating that they did similarly to america, rather than implying any direct involvement.

            Apparently this isn’t the case - see their other comment. I haven’t read through the article yet but they are claiming a pretty direct connection.

          Yes… The real life lore video on nebula (also YouTube) I referenced. Or if a nearly hour long video is too much of a commitment to prove me wrong, see here and here. Then 20-30 years later they implemented those plans (poorly).
