Kennedys were no friend of Iran

by Farah Rusta on

From JFK's conspiring to replace the Shah by his head of SAVAK, General Teymour Bakhtiar and later forcing Ali Amini upon him to Ted Kennedy's striking a secret deal (later exposed) with Khomeini's top aide, Ayatollah Sadooghi, in a bid to release the US hostages and pave the way for his democratic nomination in 1980 elections, the Kennedy brothers never acted in the interest of Iran and Iranians.
