A review of Islamic revolution- Part 6
Some of declassified communication documents of US embassy in Tehran indicate
how seriously Americans were concerned about relations between Iranian
government and the consortium in which American companies had gained a big
share since 1953. In this document, American embassy gives detailed account of
Shah's plans for oil after 1979 and clearly mentions the threatening statement
of American ambassador which indicated that if the problem was not resolved to
the satisfactory of oil companies then there would be problems between Iran
and the home countries of the oil companies (which were none other than UK and
US). This document alone shows how US government acted as representative of
oil companies to push their agenda through show of muscle while in many other
occasions denies having any influence over decisions made by those companies.
If we believe that then it means that US government, in its relation with
other nations, is always acting as protector of some companies which, in the
views of US government, their interests is the same as the interests of United
States. Whether this is a fair behavior towards the interests of American tax
payer or not, is something which should be dealt with by American people who
are always wondering why people in other parts of the world don't like them so
much!
