Jimmy Carter criticized for U.S. policy on Iran during his presidency.

Carter's focus on human rights resulted in the U.S. refusing to sell Iran non-lethal crowd control equipment and a constant undermining of the monarchy during protests. In November 1978, ambassador William Sullivan sent a telegram to Carter (the 'Thinking the Unthinkable' telegram which effectively declared his belief that the Shah would not survive the protests and that the US should consider withdrawing its support for his government. The US would then help assemble a coalition of pro-Western military officers, middle class professionals, and moderate clergy, with Khomeini installed as 'a Gandhi-like spiritual leader.' The Iranian military was increasingly tempted to launch their own pro-Shah coup and initiate a severe crackdown against the Ayatollah Khomeini's supporters and all communist organisations trying to topple the monarchy. Carter's Secretary of State Cyrus Vance rejected a military crackdown. He and his supporters believed in the 'moderate and progressive' intentions of Khomeini and his circle. The American General and Deputy Commander of NATO, Robert Huyser, was sent to Iran, but it soon became clear that his mission wasn't to aid the Shah or the military. While the option of a pro-Shah military coup still was a possibility, Huyser met with military leaders (but not the Shah) and established meetings between them and Khomeini allies for the purpose of agreeing on a transitional government. The Shah was privately embittered by Huyser's mission and felt that the United States no longer wanted him in power. Carter's, and his administration's, erroneous assessment of Khomenei's character and goals strongly contributed to the establishment of an Islamist dictatorship in Iran that has now oppressed the Iranian people for 46 years.
