No that’s not the case. The US actually was a big fan of the pre-Khomeiny government in Iran. Of course Trump did make things worse by tearing up the Iran-nuclear deal.

I think they're referring to the 1953 coup that the CIA was definitely involved with, but I'm not too sure how involved the US was in the 1979 revolution. The US probably didn't have much influence in that one considering how long the Iran hostage crisis lasted.
