israel israel, who's firing back, was followed by a horrific retaliation in gaza now there are fears of a wider war on america has a target on its back the wrong rebels struck us own ship at the center of the fears of a wider conflict is iran it is linked to hamas or hezbollah to the hutus all part of its axis of resistance why is iran at the center of this conflict in so many ways? and why this relentless hostility to america to answer those questions, we need to go back decades and try to understand why iran hates america good evening. >> i'm fareed zakaria iran in the united states, shed deep psychic and emotional scars going back years but none is remembered more by americans than the hostage crisis of 1979 we watched what appeared to be an irrational, furious attack and wondered why or how anyone would act this way but to iran taking the hostages was completely rational, given the history that led up to that moment. in november 1979, iranian students stormed the us embassy in tehran turning it into a prison for american embassy staff the gang revolutionary spent months in the embassy these basement trying to piece together evidence of past american misdeeds why because decades earlier that basement was where american and british spies had plotted a coup against what had long been a close ally you're on and the us from 18, 50 to 1950 had the best relations. >> the man seen here shaking hands with president harry truman in 1951, was iran's prime minister, mohammad mossadegh he was very adept at the theater of politics, who was a great orator. he was incorruptible. >> four years mossadegh had complained about the agreement that had given the british control of iran's oil resources the vast majority of revenue for your running, you would go to the british government not to the people of iran. there was probably almost 9010 but in a momentous decision, the parliament voted to nationalize the oil industry. then 11 mossadegh as prime minister. one month later as soon as he nationalized the oil, the british decided that they want to overthrow him the truman administration has stopped him and said no, this has to have a diplomatic solution. >> so from 51 to 53, there is an effort by the us to broker diplomatic agreement between the british and iran. >> herrmann, along with us ambassador grady seeks to end the oil dispute between breton and iran. >> the agreement never materialized. >> the united states was in the early years of tensions with the soviet union, the cold war, among their battles for supremacy, the two superpowers were fighting for dominance in the middle east. >> oil deposits underlying iran's soil gave the soviet premier good reason for his designs on this militarily helpless nation there were many different political groups inside iran at that time. >> and one of the most powerful was called the to their party, which was basically iran's communist party, which was heavily funded by and the soviet union. and the united states worried about the possibility or ball said, siding with the two their party washington's russian embassy trolls are lavish index, but most important gas present as the premier of iran, mohammed motor deck the us was determined to keep communism out and to keep iranian oil flowing to the western world. so the british and the americans plotted to take down mahsa deck it was plotted in the british and american embassies. >> the british worked with agents of the cia a grandson of teddy roosevelt kermit roosevelt to under a coup against this government the us's involvement in the coup is detailed and government documents that malcolm burned shared with me at the non-profit national security archive, where he is deputy director and director of research. and these our documents that are original us government documents written at the time classified. and through a variety of way means you have managed to get them either declassified or some reporter. essentially got them leaked, right? that's what these documents are, right part three, covert and overt action. >> this is the coo. >> so eisenhower proves it 11 july 1953. prime minister of england approves it one july 1953 yeah, that's amazing. >> key to the plot was convincing. sharma mohammad reza pahlavi, the monarch who ruled iran, to personally take action to oust most sadeq. >> august 50 at midnight soldiers knock-on most adel store and deliver an letter to him dismissing him from the, role of the prime minister in the morning, he goes on the radio. he says there was a coup attempt against me. >> most of the uk refused to accept his dismissal from office and forth back and on his orders, troops occupied the shah's palaces, hands surrounded parliament the shaw, who was waiting to see what happens, fleas, you're on immediately on august 19, the tide turns against monsanto, former premier mossadegh. >> ruined house is a mute testimony, two or three days, a bloody rioting culminating in a military coup the shah, who had planned to rome comes home backed by a general zahedi military strongmen who engineered is returned to power after the coup succeeded. >> most of that was convicted of treason, sentenced to prison then spent the rest of his life under house arrest. >> as for the show ii started consolidating power, becoming more and more of an autocrat. >> he runs democratic experiment, was over throughout the decades of the shah's reign iran kept a very good relationship with israel. >> they traded oil that kind of relationship between a muslim country. and israel was, was very important just as a borden to america was continuing to limit soviet influence in inside iran. the united states were worried that in countries like you're on, where there was enormous wealth disparity, it was going to empower communism because people would see this wealth disparity and say, there should be a quality and so for that reason, the us government pushed the show to enact these different reforms. basically trying to promote more economic equality and gender equity inside iran the white revolution, as it was known, was not universally embraced in iran one of the most vocal critics was a shia cleric and future leader of another revolution ruhollah khomeini's he resented the land reform which was going to take land away from the clergy. >> and he in particular resented any gender equality khomeini's rhetoric would help foment wider dissent that lead to rioting government forces eventually quash the riots and imprisoned for mainly before exiling him the shot remained pro-western surrounding himself with an elite class that was western educated and oriented. many of his admittedly progressive reforms created friction with iran is more conservative muslim population and then there were many who are bitter about not benefiting from the white revolution reforms what's more there was growing resentment of the chars lavish lifestyle which was epitomized by one extravagant party in 1971 does huge celebration than honore the 2,500 years of monarchic rule. people from all over the world flew in and maxims and perez provided the food and they had the finest european crystal and it wasn't many ways that celebration of the monarchy that alienated so many. >> but any discontent would be put down by the chars ever more repressive regime could a generalist in iran? >> de, to criticize his majesty he could, but i don't think that he would and his secret police, the slovak were brutal hundreds thousands of iranians were executed and disappeared yet the shaw's mistreatment of his citizens did not deter thousands of americans who enjoyed living in iran. i first went to iran in 1973. there were casinos, fashion was at its height. what was a place where an american felt very comfortable, a place where an american president jimmy carter would give this toast on new year's eve they ran because of the great leadership of the shop is in ireland of stability and one of the more troubled areas of the world. before long, that illusion of stability would be shattered in december 1978. it's throngs of protesters demanded the removal of the show and the return of rahel la khomeini five weeks later, the shy and his family fled to egypt it's a de, a abbas melania remembers, well and that day i went to see what happening in the streets. there was joined the street. people when passing around. images of fleming then they got the real thing with khomeini's return to iran, watching khomeini step off the plane and he was so mob, they actually had to scurry him off still, there was unrest the us embassy was attacked. and although this time the mob eventually left, it was a harbinger of what was to come eight months later after president jimmy carter allowed the now exiled shah v. r1 to come to the us for cancer treatment. >> the shah had kept his sickness a secret. so some suspicion began to grow that the cancer issue is excuse. >> iranians did not believe the show was ill and worried that the us would return him to power i think there's a straight line that could be drawn from 1953 to 1979. the fact that the popular government of mohammad mosaddegh was toppled through a british and american crew created fears in 1979 that the us would try to do the same thing and admitting the shaw and to the us was the trigger for the revolutionaries to try to prevent that from happening by taking hostages coming up after the shot. that was hoped for democracy. >> but instead, what emerged was a brutal theocratic regime imagine a future where plastic is not wasted. >> but instead remade over and over into the things that keep our food fresher our families safer and our planet cleaner to help us get their america's plastic makers are investing billions ends of dollars to create innovative products and new recycling technologies for sustainable change. because when you push for smarter solutions they'd, things can happen

brush, it could be the start of a domino effect new periodontics, act of gum repair, breath freshener, clinically proven to help reverse the four signs of early gum disease a new toothpaste from periodontics, the dom experts people forget that the trigger for the for the taking of the question to see was very specific decision that jimmy card domain in october 1979 president jimmy carter agreed to admit the show to the united states for cancer treatments the shah of iran is in a new york city hospital the tonight, an american government source and washington says the deposed a iranian monarchy because suffering from cancer and the blocked bile duct. >> but the iranians did not believe the show was sick. they had another more sinister theory there was a big fear among the revolutionaries that the united states and the shaw might try to pull another coup a coup that would involve the us placing the shop back in power and putting an end to the revolution iranian students took over the us embassy in tehran to look for direct proof of the american plot. >> and to demand that the us extradite the show to stand trial for what they considered worth his crimes against the iranian people and if president carter does not release the show yes, white fight nearly six months into the hostage crisis. >> the us launched operation eagle claw a covert mission to rescue the 52 hostages which ended in a devastating crash at us service members laid dead in the persian desert or humiliation for the american people hopelessness for the hostages. for romania and his disciples. the failed rescue attempt was a divine victory. and further proof that the americans could not be trusted lilly iranians had been caught completely by surprise. >> they capitalized on the failure of the rain. >> some of their leaders could not resist lording it over the americans, shot mad at me is widely runs religious hardliners were dead set against influence from the west. >> iran's moderates had been moving their country towards democracy with the support of much of the population the overwhelming sense. >> and the day of the revolution was that this was the beginning of a democratic era democracy system based on islamic values and there were individuals that people hoped could emerge as leaders of a democratic country. one such leader was a popular moderate who was appointed to be first prime minister of the provisional government. has named mehdi bizarre gun and later the moderate able hasan bunny sadler became the islamic republic's first president the two were devout muslims and advocates of islamic democracy human rights, and social justice but it did not take long for her many and his religious hardliners to turn against this liberal vision. >> they were not going to let this provisional government turn iran into a secular democratic state for many use, the hostage crisis and the showdown with the united states to isolate and sideline the new provisional government to consolidate authoritarianism pan tilt the country even further against the us and it was very machiavellian about it. prime minister bizarre gun, who was opposed to the hostage-taking recognized that the momentum was with khamenei and he resigned shortly after the embassy was seized president bonnie sadler was impeached in june 1981 and i think everyone under estimated khomeini, i think people thought that he was going to be this pacifist religious leader and once the monarchy was overthrown in iran, he would simply retreat to form and become a spiritual later instead, it was just the beginning of khomeini's reign of terror. a government takeover marked by repression and brutality have zero tolerance, theocratic regime under the rule of a religious leader philosopher king, who would guide society and tell people how to live according to islamic values khamenei and his new government ruthlessly consolidated their power targeting official those from the shas, former administration revolutions eliminate the old order by putting it to the source it's oftentimes individuals who are most effective in mobilizing violence, who prevail and khomeini was that person and iran. >> and if he calls you to fight a holy war, what will you do? >> i do eat. >> but how will you do it? do you have the weapons? >> yes, we have khamenei created revolutionary committees to purge key figures accused of being enemies of the revolution they all wanted to eliminate all the top bureaucrats, technocrats political appointees, political activists, journalists who, who were accused of being close to the monarchy armed citizen militias were organized, empowered to carry out summary justice. >> of revolutionary court was established to adjudicate cases in a bogus legal system. the newfound revolutionary government under khomeini was really in the business of retribution, not justice. >> the western press dub the notorious head of the court that hanging judge who swiftly declared individuals guilty and sentenced many to death. >> after the purge of the monarchists, khamenei turned on the leftists and socialists there was imprisonment torture, and public hangings, firing squads, mass executions and false confessions hundreds of arrests and executions not only of mujahideen, but also of marxist leninist and maoist monarchists and members of ethnic and religious minorities iranian exiles estimate up to 30,000 people were killed during that countries period of repression this created an atmosphere of terror among iranians who quickly had buyer's remorse they started to realize that this new revolutionary government was going to be far more brutal than the government which they helped to overthrow overnight everyday iranians lost their freedoms and were forced to conform to khomeini's radical brand of islam he wanted to control all aspects of people's lives inside your on how you can dress, what you can eat, what you can drink, what music you can listen to, what movies you in, watch, whether you can go out with your boyfriend or girlfriend same-sex relationships became a capital offense a big part of the cultural revolution in iran was the role of women under khamenei. >> women were relegated to a life of quote, motherly duty all of a sudden, women weren't allowed to show their hair they had to cover their bodies. >> and that really was an obsession for the islamist in some ways, the hijab, the mandatory veiling a women became the flag of the islamic republic, the chief way to distinguish post-revolutionary iran from pre-revolutionary iran marriage, divorce, custody of children and the like inheritance. >> they all became much more favorable to men in accordance to religious law a special police force was established to enforce islamic laws. >> they set up these morality police. they could read people's homes to check and see if there was alcohol to check and see if there are watching contraband movies or reading contraband books. and they could essentially arrest and intimidate people that will many of these laws and their effects still exist in iran today. >> look i think if you had portrayed the reality of islamic republic today to people who were on the streets and 1979, the revolution would not have succeeded. >> there's still willing to kill young women and beat young women who go to the streets showing too much hair. and even when it triggers a national uprising, they are still not willing to make any meaningful political reforms the islamophobic cation of iranian society after 1979 became known as he runs cultural revolution. khomeini's economic policies, which included the government takeover of key sectors of the economy, stunted growth and sometimes line the pockets of the new regimes, elite all this was too much for many in iran's middle-class. and iran saw the greatest exodus of people in its modern history. up next, the ayatollah's regime was barely one 1-year-old when its very existence was threatened by a surprise attack. saddam hussein invades iran coming up the sirens are going off and playing the tornado here. i'm thinking, i'm going to die and i thought

invasion. it's pretty clear that the iraqis do control the parent and a good part of the town the brainchild of its brutal dictator, saddam hussein saddam had recently become president of iraq and launched a merciless burj of his rivals. we hope to become the leader of the entire arab world this first move, conquer iran with its vast resources of oil saddam was smelling blood there was a triumphant and your mouth as welcome and to iran today for the ayatollah khomeini the islamic republic was week less than a year old not in general, not nearly and much of its military brass had been wiped out by ayatollah khomeini, who feared a coup iraqi troops push 20 miles into a rat as the rockies poured over the border the young iranian regime faced an existential threat but eight years and hundreds of thousands of deaths later raged far as the eye can see, martyred for khomeini and the revolution iran had survived the tide of the war and has turned sharply against iran withstanding all that saddam and the west could throw its way the ayatollah turned the conflict into a crusade for god. it was that war that made a that taught it's current leaders valuable lessons never be outgunned. >> hezbollah has been supported by iran, never be alone in the world iran-backed houthis i always think twice about giving up the ultimate trump card nuclear weapons the iran iraq war was certainly the most formative experience that most of the iranian leadership has had. we think of iran as aggressive, which it has been but from the iranian perspective, they believe they are reacting to the aggression of others saddam hussein's forces vastly out matched iran and captured a major border city soon after invading the main city of shock does now seem to the full and to iraq. but surprisingly, iraq body iran would be a pushover. >> the fledgling iranian regime held firm led by the newly formed revolutionary guard, thousands of young iranians have taken up arms against the iraqis. >> good ella warfare by young revolutionary volunteers with the regular army, chaotic can demoralized the iranians had to rely on this likely armed but fanatical militia they use very unconventional methods, including almost like kamikaze attacks against iraq, key positions. >> iran doesn't have enough friends to keep it supplied. >> iran was utterly isolated because of fears. it will export. it's fanaticism that only by syria and libya, among arab nations, iraq is getting everything it needs iraq had most arab states support as well as that of the soviet union. but enough said dana hussein, who is really iran standing alone against the rest of the world. and it has defined its security strategy ever since meanwhile, washington faced a hard quandary it had no love for saddam by did hated iran more so the cia sent an agent of baghdad with valuable intelligence beginning a years-long us relationship with saddam hussein our support of saddam hussein during their honor, or i think it was disgraceful iraq launched devastating mise-en-scene strikes against iran, cities. >> iraq is believed to be firing ten missiles for every one of iran raining hell fire on civilian populations he says he's 17-years-old his boyish face suggest otherwise meanwhile, the outer matched ayatollah was sending untrained men and boys to fight sometimes even without weapons, 25,000 iranian soldiers squared off against the rocky tanks and artillery. few hours later, only 250 bronny ends were alive this is one of the primary reasons they developed a ballistic missiles program. there's a long historical memory of how vulnerable iran could be at moments of weakness the latest battlefield for chemical weapons. >> then the iran experienced a nightmare that display of civilian victims of an iraqi poison gas attack saddam's unconscionable attacks with chemical weapons thousands suffered a horrific demise. >> this is the true face of a regime that very unfortunately the united states administration is supporting the west knew about the strikes and did little to stop them us intelligence may even have helped iraq it is targets the decision not to stand up to saddam hussein for his use of chemical weapons, i think was a very costly misses thank and it helped the iranian regime to have a moral upper-hand every time they iranian regime has done something egregious to its own people or in the region. >> they said, but what about saddam hussein? how can we then do anything about saddam hussein? >> he ran also feared saddam's nuclear ambitions than i thought afia shared by israel when it's struck any rocky reactor the shah of iran had been pursuing the bomb the islamic revolutionaries had actually ended the program the deadly nerve gas had been found on golf battlefields but all of that changed in the iran-iraq war. be ryan decided to relaunch the shaw's nuclear program. >> iran is enrich uranium particles to nearly 84%. >> and decades later, iran is frighteningly close to becoming a nuclear power potentially produce a nuclear bomb in less than two weeks if saddam hussein had been justifiably punished for the use of chemical weapons the configuration might have been different. >> the consequences were profound the exact hour of the seats fire from mosques comes to the call to prayer, special prayers for peace the war ended it a

the president of the united states, the terrorist underworld including groups like hamas hezbollah, he islamic jihad, ui sheikh mohammed operates in remote jungles and deserts and hides in the centers of large cities. nearly five months after 911 president george w bush went on the offensive in his 2002 state of the union address, north korea has a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction. iran aggressively pursued because these weapons and exports terror, iraq continues to flaunt his hostility toward america and to support terror. states like these. and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil arming to threaten the peace of the world up precedential threat granted three countries, as the axis of evil and we all know what happened next air raid sirens blared before dawn and baghdad, the first american marines have moved dan march 2003, us forces invaded iraq vowing to destroy its weapons of mass destruction. >> and put an a and just saddam hussein's dictatorial rule set but it was all a historic mistake. >> it turns out we were all wrong i wouldn't no weapons of mass destruction. and the invasion set off a firestorm of violence and vitriol, stoking anti-american sentiment well the middle east, iran sees itself as a part of the axis of evil. so it begins to feel that it has to create a defensive policy against a potential attack. >> so iran shifted to its axis of resistance, of forward defense policy that has been, it's protector for more than 40 years. iran became a major presence in iraq army shiite militias that viciously attacked american soldiers when almost all us troops withdrew in 2011, those militias became an integral part. of iraq's army. >> one of the things which the islamic republic has managed to do is to mobilize proxy forces iran was a persian shiite islamic nation facing a sea of sunni islamic arab states backed by america. >> so it cobbled together a coalition of allies, many of them non sunni throughout the region. >> the best example of that was the advent of lebanese hezbollah byproduct of israel's 1982 invasion of lebanon the whole idea was to to mobilize some shiites and create a militia the iranian revolutionary guards created the embryo of what i became his bullock, the party of god iran exploited the chaos during times of crisis and conflict and built an empire of proxy forces across the middle east in lebanon groups like hezbollah, the crown jewel of iran's forward defense policy in gaza, hamas and islamic jihad, largely responsible for the october 7 attack on israel in yemen, the houthis who have conducted missile strikes to disrupt shipping lanes and global trade in syria, a paramilitary group called shubi, her organized by president bashar al-assad. >> and in iraq and syria, shia militias, they all act as a conduit and an enforcer to convey iran's message to the world iran would recruit train organize these militia groups who had their strategic and tactical relationship with iran. >> java will receive funding from military weaponry and they would also be integrated into a command and control structure. >> sure of the force quds force is the most elite part of iran's revolutionary guard responsible for growing the axis of resistance. >> that task fell on the broad shoulders of notorious quds force commander qasem soleimani, who took great offense at bushes axis of evil labeled here was a person who has just hated by the west and by american officials because he has the leader of most efforts that have involved threats to the united states. >> a rocket attack on the baghdad airport kills their wrongs. most revered military leader when the us assassinated soleimani in 2020 the result, might have backfired galvanizing iran and its allies. >> it was actually in many ways the gold mine, because instead of him being killed by someone on an isis is being assassinated by the great satan iran is not a hessia monic power. >> i would say is an opportunistic power. and 1982 is really invasion of lebanon hezbollah in 2003, us invasion of iraq, creating an opportunity for iran to develop a network of shia militia in iraq 2015, saudi invasion of yemen created an opportunity for iran and to double down on its relations with the houthis in yemen. >> but has this proxy strategy worked for a run in september? i sat down with the runs then president ebrahim raisi and pushed him on this subject our country that used to be one of the richest countries in the region. >> now looks backward in comparison. use. iran seems more isolated. is it worth the price you have paid to have taken all these positions that you will have taken in the situation brought about by the americans syria was syria unsuccessful, or america certainly series

politics sunday with manu raju next on cnn closed captioning brought to you by ruler law. i kinda brands up to 70% off retail at roulette law, law.com rubella you never faithful sees the deals on top before there shop and now my own thoughts on the past and where it leads us america's relationship with iran has been hostile and confrontational for more than four decades no matter what happens in the world, the fall of communism, the rise and fall of jihadism somehow this relationship seems destined to stay the same. >> why? >> and could it change there are two ideas that often underpinned american strategy that should be dispelled the first is that the iranian regime will collapses suddenly morphed into a pro-american ally as it was under the shah it's not that this is impossible repressive regimes are often more fragile than they seem but promising a strategy on a hope is not a sound path forward. >> in addition, it's worth looking at america's recent experiences with regime change in iraq i've gone this far libya and beyond to recognize that even after the end of a bad regime, things do not always steadily improve in fact, look at washington's relations with moscow more than three decades after that system collapsing it has not worked out as many had wished. >> the second idea or hope is that the us and the current government in iran can be friends? the true daisy iran is a very proud and nationalistic country, deeply imbued with a sense of its own historical grandeur recall that the empire that was a precursor to the modern iran was one of the few forces that held its own in bathroom with roman empire at different points ancient persians ruled over much of what is now the arab world with all its current dysfunction in poverty. iran is the air the one of the great civilizations of the world, which means pride and pre-cleaning in addition, the islamic revolution is anti-american in its deep the ayatollah's who run iran have constructed an ideology that permeates the regime. and that is as much about the importance of religion as it is about the importance so of resisting america. they justify their repression by declaring that they must resist the liberty in and decadent ways of the west there are, of course, some strong ideas and emotions that underpin america's hostility to iran washington has viewed the fall of the shah z run as a deep betrayal hello, from which has never really recovered it has always founded hard to deal with nationalism and anti-modern reactionary ideologies but ruling out regime change or friendship is it possible to have a working relationship with iran? not one that assumes victory or conversion or a happy marriage but rather uneasy coexistence that proposition has been attempted only briefly and never consistently reagan took some tentative steps in that direction, famously trading arms for hostages. >> but it all exploded after 911 iran took some important steps to cooperate with washington in afghanistan in helping to set up a new government. but once georgia new bush branded them part of the axis of evil, those overtures collapsed. the most significant effort was made by barak obama and iran's then president hassan rouhani both spoke of creating a new relationship it was not friendship as iran's foreign minister, java's zarif pointed out to me by the iran nuclear deal was premised, not on trust, but on mistrust. each side carefully protected. its interests in that document. >> but it did create the possibility of a working relationship and iran did adhere to the deal, moving further away from a nuclear weapons program than it had been for decades but donald trump blew up that deal and that opportunity. >> and in iran, forces opposed to the deal and any kind of rapprochement with washington gained power i'd like roe han. >> and now rule with an even more google fest can washington it there on fine common cause again it seems unlikely that fork in the road lies far behind us. >> the bath, both countries are on is one. they are both comfortable with despite the fact that it is filled with tensions and misunderstandings. and could even lead to war thank you for watching the special our on iran. you can
