No, the Iranian missile that lobotomized monarchists are claiming caused it was going in the opposite direction of the school.

It's complete bullshit made up by diaspora lunatics who've lost touch with reality. You know the Parenti anti-communism quote? Replace communist with Islamic Republic and anticommunist with anti-regime, a d you basically get the average diaspora view of Iran.

Fuck it I'll do it right now:

During the ~~cold war~~ war on terror, the ~~anticommunist~~ anti-regime ideological framework could transform any data about existing ~~communist~~ Iranian society into hostile evidence. If the ~~Soviets~~ Islamic Republic refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the ~~churches~~ mosques in the ~~USSR~~ Islamic Republic were empty, this demonstrated that religion was ~~suppressed~~ dying; but if the ~~churches~~ mosques were full, this meant the people were ~~rejecting~~ being forced to accept the regime's ~~atheistic ideology~~ theocratic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the ~~collectivist~~ Iranian system; if they didn't go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If ~~communists~~ Iranians in ~~the United States~~ West Asia played an important role struggling for the rights of ~~workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others~~ indigenous resistance groups, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.
