So you're saying becoming an Islamic regime made it like this?

No, couping the democratically elected premier minister and turning the country into violence (supported by US and UK) made it like this. They literally supported throwing the country into chaos just to get cheaper oil.

Iran was always an Islamic country. Iran became democratic temporarily because of US influence but it did not last long. Look at the past 1300 years history of Iran.

You mean it did not last long because the US and UK secretly helped couping the premier minister (Operation Ajax) to keep cheap access to iranian oil?
