It's ironic when he says that the British could no longer organize a coup because they no longer had an embassy in Tehran, and they turned to the US because they still had one. There's a joke in Latin America that goes, "Why aren't there coups in the US? Because there's no US embassy there."

pro tip - when your professor gives a lecture like this and you only have time for <b>one</b> question ask him which pub he attends after his work.

It is so dramatic to see how the minor political decisions in Washington and London could change the course of history for countries and nations such as Iran and cause prolonged suffering for millions of people over generations. The saddest part is that these intervenings are still taking place in 21st century in a more complex way

I am a Gulf War veteran it is amazing what you can learn about a war I participated in 40 years later! We must question our politicians harder before commiting our service members to offensive wars.

The combination of history, storytelling, and comedy. This guy is truly a master at what he is doing. I would never ever sit and watch a 2 hours of lecture, but yet I was glued to my screen.

It’s absolutely incredible that this lecture is from 3 years ago. It feels like he’s talking about what is happening in Iran right now. Thank you, Dr. for making these lectures available to all of us.

Hearing this today amid Iran’s upheaval is a reminder of how history actually unfolds. Causes are planted long before their consequences appear. When crisis arrives we focus on the moment but what we’re witnessing is only the surface of much deeper roots.
