Just last month, the country came close to a major uprising followed by a severe crackdown. Iran isn’t central to the global oil industry, but had the revolution succeeded, we could have seen a funny coincidence.
Re-reading Thucydides persuades me that history does repeat, as the historian insisted, because "human nature never changes," using the Rex Warner translation. We go down a path long used by hegemons, thinking or hoping we know the results of our audacity. And because we learn almost nothing from past adventures, history repeats.
Is some interesting data, but as you mentioned, if you search hard and long enough, you will achieve a result that appears to rhyme. Just my humble opinion.

History rhymes with mystery.
Were Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie mysterions?

I got a random correlation between the number of movies Margot Robbie appeared in and the number of firefighters in South Dakota.
Thanks for sharing the link! I got a good laugh from it.
