How would Iran be doing currently if the US didn't sanction and work against it?

It would have the same standard of living as Italy/Spain

better yet.. what if we stood by the shah?

If the Shah was still in power or his son, Iran would be the west.

How would Iran be doing if the CIA didn't infiltrate and overthrow its secular democracy at the bidding of a multinational oil corporation?

Just like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Come on, that's the reality.

I guess we'll never know, cause the US has no intention to stop infiltrating his government in the name of big oil capitals.

iran would be the best country in the middle east, and lebanon would be a popular vacation spot for europeans.

Probably pretty good.
Afghanistan was actually pretty good up until the Soviet War, Iraq was much better under Sada'am than it is now, and Iran was (and is) much better than either of those places plus it has a long list of outsized historical accomplishment, etc. There's no reason it wouldn't be much better off than most areas or countries in the region.

There was no reason to make Iraq a failed state with the invention but you still did it.

It wouldn't exist

>no reason
being slaves of israel is a good reason

Or the president they had before the CIA MI6 assassinated him.

That would have meant Iraq & Afghanistan firmly in the Soviet bloc.

Your resources by which you were supporting Afghani mijahedeens would have went to the Shah in the almost imminent civil war in Iran.
