Why don’t the various mainstream news-media outlets ever note (at least not during my three decades of news/commentary consumption) that one of the main reasons the Iranian Revolution occurred was due to foreign oil companies, notably those of the U.S., exploiting their resources?

Stay in North America and stop burning trash.
