I remember how it was before the CIA removed the shah of Iran. Had some young Iranian college friends of my sister's around. The regime since then threw 8the country back into the dark ages! My cousin married an Iranian and has 2 sons. They lived in Tehran. When she realized what was coming, in order to not have herself and the boys be prisoners in country, she had to flee with them over the mountains at night into Afghanistan under gunfire. Which meant she had to escape her husband as well. None of then saw him again. He was arrested.

Same SOP as we have seen in Panama and Iraq.
