The mullahs helped the Shah against Mossadeq. They turned against him and us later.Nonsense. We were happy with the shah. Why would we pay opposition in exile?
Saddam was secular. His army was secular. Then the US killed Saddam and installed Shia government led by Sadr into power. Sadr oppresses Sunnis and that led to Sunnis fighting back in the form of ISIS. Why would the US foster Sunni Shia war in the Middle East?

France is not interested in what's good for "the West", only France.Not sure about "payments".
But Mullah Khomeni stayed in Paris for a while. Who payed his expenses.
People say, shias in France cooked food and brought to Khomeni's appartment.
However if Khomein was not French citizen, and still living there, that means he had support from France and by extension the West.

At this moment in time they do. But in the past there was fierce competition between Britain and France. France was close to Saddam's Iraq for example even after the 1991 Gulf War. In the fifties and sixties France supported Israel while Britain preferred Jordan. There have even been allegations that France funded and armed Irgun and Stern Gang terrorists in the 1940s.yes and no.
France has show that both right and left gov coordinate policies with USA and UK when it comes to ops in the Middle East.
