The West's history of hostilities against Iran date back to the coup that overthrew Mohammad Mossedeq in 1952. After successfully overthrowing the democratically elected Mossedeq, the British and Americans installed the Shah of Iran who, along with the SAVAK, terrorized the nation until the Iranian Revolution of 1979. The Shah escaped, but the Islamic mullahs controlled the country. Since then Iran has not attacked anyone escape in the defense of their nation when Iraq invaded in the 1980s (aided by the U.S. I would add...).
Fast forward to today when the mullahs have really lost control to a more secular political group. Much of the shariah law has been relaxed with the introduction of western technology, blue jeans, western music, etc. Yet, the West hates the fact that Iran has been trying to stay out of the economic web that is currently spread across the globe. A group called Jundullah (with alleged ties to the CIA) started committing acts of terror in Iran by at least 2008 (possibly 2005). One has to wonder how much more of this "proxy war" the Iranian government will take.
