Given the Eisenhower got the CIA to overthrow the government of Iran and put the brutal Shah in place, and his 25 years of brutality and oppression led to the rise of the Ayatollahs and the revolution, I would blame HIM more than Carter…who simply inherited a US puppet regime that others put in place and actively supported. Not that giving the Shah refuge after the revolution helped matters any. Other stuff really nice.
