"they" were responding to a previous event that happened in 1953, Mrrzy.

As below:

The 1953 Iranian coup d'état (known in Iran as the 28 Mordad coup[3]) was the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Iran, and its head of government Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh on 19 August 1953, orchestrated by the intelligence agencies of the United Kingdom (under the name 'Operation Boot') and the United States (under the name TPAJAX Project).[4][5] The coup saw the transition of Mohammad-Rezā Shāh Pahlavi from a constitutional monarch to an authoritarian one who relied heavily on United States support to hold on to power until his own overthrow in February 1979.[6]

In 1951, Iran's oil industry was nationalized with near-unanimous support of Iran's parliament in a bill introduced by Mossadegh who led the nationalist parliamentarian faction. Iran's oil had been controlled by the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC), now known as BP.[7] Popular discontent with the AIOC began in the late 1940s, a large segment of Iran's public and a number of politicians saw the company as exploitative and a vestige of British imperialism.[8] Despite Mosaddegh's popular support, Britain was unwilling to negotiate its single most valuable foreign asset, and instigated a worldwide boycott of Iranian oil to pressure Iran economically.[9] Initially, Britain mobilized its military to seize control of the Abadan oil refinery, the world's largest, but Prime Minister Clement Attlee opted instead to tighten the economic boycott[10] while using Iranian agents to undermine Mosaddegh's government.[11] With a change to more conservative governments in both Britain and the United States, Churchill and the U.S. Eisenhower administration decided to overthrow Iran's government though the predecessor U.S. Truman administration had opposed a coup.[12] Classified documents show British intelligence officials played a pivotal role in initiating and planning the coup, and that Washington and London shared an interest in maintaining control over Iranian oil.[13]


I don't call people who fight against a foreign-sponsored coup to take over their country, overthrow their elected government, establish a dictatorship there, and steal their oil...as "Nazis". I refer to the foreign powers (USA and UK) who staged the coup as "Nazis" if anyone is, and the Shah was their local Iranian stooge to help them do it.

The entire history of bitter hostilities between Muslims and the West since the end of WWII (and even before WWII) has resulted from the West's hunger to control Middle Eastern oil. It is perfectly natural that an indigenous Muslim population should resist the takeover of their land and the theft of their natural resources by foreign powers and foreign intelligence agencies. It is perfectly natural that they should resist the imposition of foreign-backed dictators such as the Shah. The Iranian revolutionary actions in 1979 were the actions of Iranian patriots, not "Nazis". They were demonized in our media for only one reason: their actions defied the West and put the oil back in the control of the Iranian nation rather than in the control of foreign (British and American) oil companies.
