What’s the history of the US and Iran’s relationship? #iran #usa

More than 1,500 people have been killed since the US and Israel began strikes against Iran on February 28th.

To understand the roots of the conflict, it helps to go back to 1953, when the US and Britain backed a coup that overthrew Mohammad Mosaddegh, the most prominent democratically elected leader in Iran’s history.

The hostage crisis, the Iran-Iraq war, and the shooting down of an Iranian commercial jet by the US military all help explain why relations between the two countries remain so deeply fractured.
