However, we armed and kept contacts with the Iranian military from the moment the Ayatollah's took power.

The only arming of Iran's military was the in the Iran Contra scheme. This was not "from the moment the Ayatollah took power". Nor was it ever a significant portion of Iran's arms. I also see now what that it weakens the regime, it rather put more weapons at the hands of the ayatollahs. The act should probably be condemened for that reason, but not as part of a coup attempt or an attempt to encourage one.
