If you want to attack the CIA you're better off picking a conflict where they STARTED the conflict and they were the ones who made the first move to destroy an existing political order and plunge a region into chaos and civil war You know, like Killmonger did

(Qasim is a better example than the ayatollahs because like Killmonger has revolution was not overtly religious and did present itself as a "progressive" form of ethno-regional liberation - he was a Pan-Arabist the way Killmonger presented as a Pan-Africanist)
