One of the forgotten aspects of the modern Middle East conflict and which seems to be disregarded by the media was the early days of the Ayatollah Khomeini and their objective of exporting the revolution. History shows that even before the success of the Iranian revolution, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) have provided assistance to the present Iranian regime. The PLO in fact trained and helped create the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
