I am watching a BBCTV 10 o'clock news item about Iran by John Simpson.
This man as usual presents a biased and deliberately misleading picture of Iranian history.
He has just said how repressive the secret police are there nowadays.
He has spoken of SAVAK but neglects to point out how terribly repressive SAVAK was, how it was supported by the US and that one of the reasons that Iranians are or were so anti-American was because of the ferociously destructive American intervention in their country from 1953 onwards.
