Khomeini and the BBC

In 1979, the British and US governments installed Khomeini into power.
In the Shah's own words: "If you lift up Khomeini's beard, you will find Made In England written under his chin".
The BBC put Khomeini on a public pedestal. The Persian-language broadcasts of the BBC were used as a propaganda tool for Khomeini, making him the only alternative to the Shah's rule. These broadcasts made him the “unchallenged leader” of the Iranian revolution.

By October 1978, negotiations between the Shah's government and British Petroleum for renewal of the 25-year old extraction agreement had collapsed because the Shah refused to give Britain exclusive rights to Iran's future oil output.
Iran appeared on the verge of independence in its oil sales policy for the first time since 1953; prospective buyers included Germany, France and Japan.

According to William Engdahl:

In November 1978, President Carter named the Bilderberg group's George Ball, another member of the Trilateral Commission, to head a special White House Iran task force under the National Security Council's Brzezinski. Ball recommended that Washington drop support for the Shah of Iran and support the fundamentalistic Islamic opposition of Ayatollah Khomeini.

The coup against the Shah was run by British and American intelligence, with the “American” Zbigniew Brzezinski (born in Poland), taking the “credit” for getting rid of the “corrupt” Shah, while the British characteristically remained in the background.
See Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and Madeleine Albright having a laugh.


Other possible motives for getting rid of the Shah:
He signed petroleum agreements with Italian oil company ENI;
He began to close down the opium industry.

Another possible motive for bringing Khomeini into power is to orchestrate the American hostage drama to get rid of President Carter (and preventing an October surprise): http://disquietreservations.blogspot.nl/...alled.html

In June 2016, the BBC didn´t report on its own role, but instead suggested that in January 1979 Ayatollah Khomeini had secretly asked Jimmy Carter’s assistance to overthrow the Shah. Khomeini promised that after his return from exile in France, he would prevent a civil war in Iran, and wouldn’t be hostile to Washington...

A 1980 CIA study says that:

in November 1963 Ayatollah Khomeini sent a message to the US Government through [Tehran University professor] Haj Mirza Khalil Kamarei”, in which he explained “that he was not opposed to American interests in Iran” and that “on the contrary, he thought the American presence was necessary as a counterbalance to Soviet and possibly British influence”.

According to Masud Wadan:

The US with the support of France, Britain and Germany struck a deal regarding Khomeini at the Guadeloupe Conference [1979]. This three-day summit agreed upon the seating of Khomeini as the leader of Iran.
