Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

Tijani said:
You're right partially on this one. There's an internal hierarchy between the zionist West. A pecking order of sorts where your value depends on whether your ancestry is historically from the western parts of Europe, the Anglo-Saxon alliance. There is a reason why it's called the WEST.
Even within this coalition there's hierarchy, henceforth the FUKUS coalition is higher on the peeking order than say the PIGS, and they in there turn matter more than all Eastern Europeans.
Despite taking all this into consideration once must though understand that for a nation set for destruction by the West they're all the same because their align when it comes to taking advantage. Let's say you're Venezuela, then they're all the same pack of vultures.
By the way I think you're confusing Venezuela with another country. US, as far as I know, has never engaged in open hostilities with Venezuela.

Nobody is perfect but looking the larger picture the man was a detrimental force. You're though in right of appreciating whatever good he did for your country.

How you or Iranians on a broader level perceive him is your internal matter and I can respect that and your sentiment. However, Pakistan has a culture of hospitality and Pakistani should remember those who were good to Pakistan fondly. Mullah types are usually intolerant and look down on others without introspection, this needs to stop (not saying you are one but this is an unfortunate trend).

Not everything is black and white. He did some good things, but he was also a dictator subservient to the West.
Many Iranians will remember him as the man that was installed by the CIA/MI6 to oust Irans democratically elected prime minister Mossadeq, who had the balls to show the middle finger to the f*cking Brits, when he nationalized the Iranian oil industry.
That being said, the Shah is buried under the ground and is history.

HOWEVER, his son Reza Pahlavi needs to be called out for what he is. He is a snake, and a puppet in absolute terms!
He would be for Iran what Jolani has been for Syria.

The Shah was a dictator who needed weapons to protect his family and wealth.

For this, he served the West and America. His relations with Pakistan were also due to the fact that Pakistan and Iran were both in the Western group and were in front of the Soviet Union.

A complete puppet.

he didn't need f-14 and f-16 and f-18 or kidd class ships to do that

Puppet who armed Iran to teeth to the point that IRI could take on entire USSR+EU fueled Arab league and still came out victorious?

Being an Azeri Turk, I have no exceptional love for Shah but Pahlavis were patriots. He would have taken Iran to Great Power status by 1990s. IRI is like Qajar empire. Started tough, kept Iran intact but becoming more and more irrationally stupid as time passes by. Post 2010s Khamenei is Naser Al-din Shah Qajar 2.0

What a funny comment.
The buy of some war equipment would not have made the Iranian army to be on the same level as the powerful armies of the world. The entire naval fleet of the Shah's army could resist the American attack for only a few hours. The tanks bought from England were bullshits and...

it is like considering the current Saudi army as powerful. The current Arabia and Iran during the time of the Shah have many similarities. They are both economic and military dependents and servants of the West.

There was a clash between Iraq and Iran when Shah was in power? This is news to me. I don't think that Iraqi forces were equipped to handle Iranian military of the 1970s. If there was indeed a clash in the 1970s then it might not have went well for him. Lol.

You mean "Some war equipment" like F-14As that downed 159 Baathist jets while losing 3? or F-4E/Ds that bombed Iraqi fields, nuclear plant, even Saddams palace? You do understand what would have been done to Iranian cities and population had their been no massive Shahi built IRIAF fleet defending Iranian skies and neutralizing strategic threats in enemy territory. Tanks play almost no role in Iranian doctrine even today, Iran is one of the most mountainous countries on planet earth.

What you are doing in blind love for Mullahs is that you are seeing Iranian military doctrine some 50 years ago through the lens of presentism. Imperial Iran had no quarrel with PGCC still Shah was going for best available Kidd class and Tang Submarines. My own understanding is that Iran would have become a nuclear armed/sharing country under Shah in mid-late 80s due to USSR invasion of Afghanistan and Baathists showing nuclear ambitions of their own. Like I said before, he was no angel, Pahlavis were persian chauvinists, but were Iranian patriots esp Reza Khan Mir Panji.

IRI is a threat driven asymmetric military relying upon missiles, UCAVs that in recent times is trying to become a conventional or symmetric force through rapid naval expansion, IADS, Aerospace etc, they can do much more but visibly the leadership lacks courage and often gets played in hands of Russia and China.
