There the west failed to reach out to the reformist movement that attracted overwhelming support from the populace. Instead of supporting this movement by opening channels to the country and helping the process to evolve, the United States placed Iran on its so-called axis of evil list, thereby isolating Iran and rallying popular support for the conservative mullahs in power.
Au lieu d'appuyer ce mouvement en s'ouvrant au pays et en aidant le processus, les États-Unis ont placé l'Iran sur sa liste de pays faisant partie de l'axe du mal, l'isolant ainsi et poussant la population à appuyer les mullahs au pouvoir.
