Iran

Iran is a theocracy. Although there are an elected parliament and an elected president, the ultimate power in the land rests with the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Hoseyni Khāmene'i, who can veto any laws or proposals of parliament or president. Religious police patrol and can take action against women who do not cover their heads or who dress in such a fashion that they consider 'immodest'.

It was very evident at the last parliamentary elections that candidates were selected on the basis of approval by the religious authorities. Nevertheless, younger Iranians, who were born after the Iranian revolution, are pressing for change and may be an irresistable force in the future.

Hi.... i need information for a big gold book of Sha of Iran.... Any one can help me Please....

I don't think there is anything called the 'Iran Holocaust'.

Assuming by "The Shah of Iran", you are specifically referring to "Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi" who is only the last in millenia-long line of Shahs, there are two times that he came to power (because he abdicated midway through his reign). Only the second of Mohammed's ascension to power involved the USA.

Coming to Power in 1940
In 1940, in the midst of World War II, Shah Reza Pahlavi (Mohammed's father) had a pro-German view, even though he remained neutral. This was unacceptable for both the UK and Soviet Union (USSR) which need Iran to serve as a corridor for troop passage and petroleum passage between British-controlled Iraq and the Soviet Union. As a result these two countries sponsored a coup to replace Reza Pahlavi with his son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The United States had nothing to do with this coup and had a profoundly isolationist stance at this point in history. Mohammed Reza Pahlavi remained in power until he abdicated in 1951 after facing strong hostility from the Iranian population.

Coming to Power in 1953
In 1953, the CIA launched a coup d'etat in Iran, called Operation Ajax. which re-installed the Shah of Iran after he had been forced out in 1951. The US and UK both knew that Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddegh would nationalize the oil fields in Iran, which would have huge economic ramifications for the UK, and feared that he would create an alliance with the Soviet Union since he was very amenable to Iranian Communists and their political views. As a result, the US and UK both preferred the strongly Western-aligned Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi and instigated the coup that put him in power. The policy was negative, not only for the citizens of Iran who were subjected to numerous human rights abuses post-replacement, but also for the US which alienated the Iranian people in the long-term and was unable to seriously halt the growth of communism.

no

probably both have nucular weapons and so does Russia plus world war three will probably be started soon by Russia.

israel or turky...preferably israel

Defiantly.

In the middle of the 20th century Iran was on the road to becoming a secular Democracy. In 1951 the Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddeq moved to nationalize Iranian oil. In response to this in 1953 the governments of the United Kingdom and the US sponsored a coup, known as Operation AJAX, which overthrew the Prime Minister and instated the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The Shah was strongly supported by- some say of puppet of- the United States. His reign was known for its brutality, corruption, and forced Westernization. The period from the 1953 coup to the Islamic Revolution in 1979 was a time of great radicalization. The 1979 revolution transformed Iran from a Monarchy to an Islamic Republic.

there is a supersition that there are these invisible creatures, called Jin/Jen. and they are about even though you don't see them,( sort of lost lost souls). they're always trying to annoy people, but taking and moving their stuff, and putting them in the most absord places. so if you are looking for something, for example your phone and can't find it, they say the Jen took it. so you might have put your phone on the table, but after searching for it, you might find it under your bed.

Answer 1: From the original asker of the question:
I doubt it. Look at what Syria is prepared to do to her own people let alone what she would do to Israel if they had.

Answer 2
If Iran attacks Israel, there is little doubt that the United States will enter the fray. Additionally, some countries in Western Europe, especially the United Kingdom will join the fight. An outwardly bellicose Iran would be untenable. However, just because these countries would intervene on an extant attack on Israel does not mean that they wish to join Israel on performing a pre-emptive strike on Iran. This is what the news media is covering. Israelis know that the Israeli air-force would not be able to effectively destroy Iran's nuclear capability in the same way that they destroyed Iraq's and Syria's nuclear capability because there are numerous Iranian facilities and most are deep underground. The American air-force is far larger and would deal a much more significant blow, which is why the Israeli leadership is trying to convince the American leadership to act.

As for Syria, the Syrian armed forces are a joke compared to Israel. Hezbollah has scored more significant successes against Israel than the Syrian Army. The reason that the Syrian civil war is dragging for so long is because the rebels have insufficient numbers, tactical experience, and military hardware (such as guns and tanks) to effectively oppose the Syrian government. Israel has all of those things, so Syria is not a worry for Israel. (The Syrian air-force is even more of a joke.) Egypt is the only Arab country with a decent army.
