Roy Casagranda gives us an overview of US foreign policy in the Middle East from 1953 to 2003.. We start off by talking about the 1953 Iranian coup d’état and then move into the Iranian Revolution. We go into the rise of Saddam Hussien and the Iran–Iraq War. After that, we start talking about the events that led into the Desert Storm and finish off the conversation talking about the Iraq War.
