The questions remain. How did that mess up Iran, i.e. how was that worse than a bloody revolution with the same end result, and how did Reagan's October Surprise factor into things?Declassified docs show Carter was in communication with Khomeini in France. Invited him into Iran. He made efforts to dissuade the army from acting. Told Khomeini it didn’t appear that the Iranian military would support the Shah, which was a green light. Made efforts to reconcile the Army and Khomeini. Told someone in his administration he thought Khomeini was another Mahatma Ghandi. Accepted the Shah into the U.S. after all of that. Stuff like that. Lied about it all.
