      Wait, are people saying it’s not? I checked Wikipedia and found this though?

        it’s not?

        I’m confused. This is, like, the exact opposite of what I said? You even added more evidence?

        E: oh damn, you edited with quickness.

        Tehrangeles

        It is a shopping, eating and gathering place for the large number (estimates range from 500,000–600,000) of Iranian-Americans and their descendants residing in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, the largest such community outside of Iran.

          Exactly, Tehrangeles is the capital of Iranistan, and it was moved around the time of the Iranian Revolution to be farther away from CIA headquarters on the East Coast to make it harder for them to do another coup like the one in 1953. Now the Americans suddenly realized they don’t like that the Iranians put their capital so close to all those military bases in California and that’s what the war’s about.
