"Exporting the Islamic Revolution, in Khomeini's view, meant the export of the teachings and experiences of the Iranian Revolution to other nations for their liberation from the colonial powers" the main lesson of the Iranian Revolution is to 1) get rid of the western colonialists' control over oil resources in the muslim world, and 2) get rid of the western settler colonies that are oppressing muslims in the region. Remember that the Iranian Revolution was happened against the western controlled puppet Shah that gave all of Iran's oil to the British Petroleum (Anglo-Persian Oil Company)

you did very selective quoting. also, how "exporting revolution looks in practice": https://www.state.gov/reports/country-reports-on-terrorism-2021/iran/ https://www.state.gov/reports/country-reports-on-terrorism-2... https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF12587 https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF12587

  none of these shia groups mentioned in these reports have a goal of establishing radical fundamentalist theocracies. All of these groups are anti-colonial, anti-western, and pro-iran. As a counterexample you can look at US Congress funded extremist terrorists groups, like: 0. Jabhat al-Nusra / HTS 1. Al-Qaeda (Jake Sullivan to Clinton: "Al-Qaeda is on our side" https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/23225 ) 2. Ahrar al-Sham 3. Free Syrian Army and its factions 4. Southern Front 5. Farouq Brigades 6. ISIS - all trained and organized at Camp Bucca under the US Army and Joint Task Force 134 (Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Haji Bakr, Abu Muslim and other isis leaders) http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/21/world/middleeast/suspicions-run-deep-in-iraq-that-cia-and-the-islamic-state-are-united.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/21/world/middleeast/suspicion...

      your argument was about Iran being a danger because they were "spreading fundamentalism". I just proved that USA and its despotic monarchy allies/vassals in the middle east are the one spreading fundamentalism. So the real purpose is just colonial control by the USA over the last more or less independent country in the middle east. Same as Cuba: Cuba represents no danger as far as military or socialism. It is still being sanctioned to the detriment of its population, just because it has not submitted fully to be taken over by the US capital and military
