2.  SOVIET UNION (RUSSIA)

The head of the Soviet (Russian) school for indoctrination of foreign assets says that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was one of their students.  

ABOUT THE SCHOOL: 

The Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (Russian: Российский университет дружбы ), also known as RUDN University, is an educational and research institution located in Moscow. It was established in 1960 to develop Third World students into KGB/Russian assetts. It was part of Soviet offensive to project power.

3.  U.S. PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER & THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.

"The Shah [King of Iran] had good reason to be alarmed. He knew US ambassador William Sullivan had made discrete contact with Khomeini’s representatives in Tehran and was involved in negotiations for the ayatollah’s return from exile." 

After the Shah departed Iran, President Carter also sent U.S. military advisors to threaten the Shah's generals from taking military action against the Ayatollah, resulting the Shah's vast arsenal of military weapons falling into the hands of Islamic radicals.

Tehran had fallen to a coalition of Muslim fundamentalists and left-wing guerrilla groups financed and armed by Libya, the PLO and the east bloc. The final communication sent out from the US embassy read: “Army surrenders Khomeini wins destroying all classified.”

4.  THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT

The French government gave the Ayatollah a home base, provided him with around  the clock protection, and allowed the Ayatollah to conduct regime change from its soil.
