Very interesting - shame about the narrator's extremely annoying voice and his inability to pronounce Persian names properly despite seemingly making a great effort. Anyone who really wants to get an inside track on who the Shah was between 1968 - 1977 should read 'The Shah and I - The Confidential Diaries of Iran's Royal Court', written by his court minister and confidant Assadollah Alam. Unputdownable.

If any sheep believe in this then you are very much welcome. This is still a illuminati Brit propoganda!! Like the shah wanted to nationalised the oil companies but didnt know how. Musadeq was the best Friend he had to do so. He knew that the evil had a very powerfull militerry, and he had to go about this way. He made a speech and said that from 79 we will never give our oil to evil for nothing, and in 79 Iran had the revolution. Only sheeps believe what they see. Learn, research and inform
wow, Islamic regime survived like a parasite till now. This video was made many years ago. More and more Iranians are regretting the Islamic revolution. We are deeply sorry for ourselves
@Imperialpsalm hahahaha little knowledge is dangerous man, i can t believe that you got so many thumbs up hahahaha lol the shah was the puppet of the british and the US they overthrew mossadeq cause he wanted the oil of iran to benefit for the people of iran and they put shah the bastard as his successor now get your fact straight you fool the problem is that the shah him self was overthrown and that was realy bad for the USA until now 2012...
@CyprusTab He could also keep out the soviets since they had invaded afghanistan which was an threat seeming that the two countries were boarded close together
@CyprusTab In 1951 then he 2 years after his election he was overthrow due to demonstrations and cia orchesterd coup, Well of course seeming that iran was an islamic country and had an conversative society the shah imposed an political system based on extreme secularization and modernization as we saw in many western countries that suited his masters, if he had maintained an islamic one that wouldnt have pleased his masters
Mr Yazdi, is still a secret agent , he was adviser nr 1 to khomeini, he was american citizen, and a CIA agent, and became Khomeini's closest adviser during a longtime, and has survived all others around Khomeini in that time, so tell me what is your conclusion??
And why is that now when he is in some kind of arrest, international figures ask for his freedom??
@CyrusTab first of all i aint iranian, but i guess you are going to tell me how iran was much better off with the shah, if thats the case why did people hate him so much in fact he overthrow a previous government that was democracitcally elected alongside his masters cia!, he was put in place to suit americans needs to they could control and manilpate iran to do as they please!
@TheTruth8018 When was the "previous government" of Mossadegh democratically elected? What was the date of the election? I am curious. And what policies in Iran did the Shah follow which was not to the benefit of Iran but only to suit America? Give some examples if you know so much, please...
@darkhyena Well.. that's not so special if you pretend to be a noble or of royal blood. "The Queen" is referred to primarily with her title, same for "the Emperor".. in German during his time Hitler was referred to almost exclusively as the "Führer", though. (His situation is quite different for his shameful demontage in the WW.. no one will pay him respects)
Atatürk is to this day referred to with his title "Father of the Turks", not his real name Mustafa Kemal (he was not a dictator, though).
@TheTruth8018 Absolute nonsense. Typical intellectually lazy statement parroted by an Iranian who doesn't care enough about his nation to study its history.
@CyrusTab Will you tell me Moussadeq was not elected by the people? Will you tell me he was not overthrown with major involvement of foreign powers (which normally is considered treason for those involved, and makes them merit death in most countries, especially when their nation is endangered)?Will you tell me to keep the people down, the "Great" Shah did not have the most horrific torture prisons? Will you tell me he and his family did not lead a decadent lifestyle at the expense of the ppl?
@dinavienna Yes, Mossadegh was NEVER elected by the people. Iran's constitution did not allow for direct elections of the Prime Minister back then. He WAS popular, but not elected. Sorry to burst your bubble. Yes, the U.S./UK played a role in his overthrow, but his own errors were far more important than foreign involvement; his own allies deserted him because of the dangerous errors he was making.
@dinavienna Torture under the Shah, while inexcusable, did not really begin until 1971, was GREATLY exaggerated, and was overwhelmingly used against the Mujahedin, Fadayan and some mullahs not against ordinary "people." Decadence is subjective, but, by most accounts, the Shah's immediate family did not live decadently, but some of his extended family did. For anyone to compare the Shah's regime to Saddam Hussein's suggestions a serious lack of historical awareness and cannot be taken seriously.
Would China have economically followed up so fast if it was a democracy? or could you hold national referendums in India like they do in Switzerland to clarify fairly simple questions? Democracy is not a product like Diet Coke that you can promote anywhere anytime. More over is Democracy a state of mind that has to develop from the inside. If it doesn't adapt to cultural differences (Religion), then it won't work and most of all it must be valued more than Capitalism. That's not the case today!
shah was such a great leader. his father was amazing they built iran. cyrus reza pahlavi is our next hope. i just hope he will become a key figure in iran pretty soon. i would love iran to be a democratic monarchy. shah didnt want to kill his people so he just said ok and left. he could stop the riots by killing but he didnt, iran will be free soon cyrus pahlavi your our hope. JAVID SHAH. SECULAR IRAN
I think the lesson we iranians should learn from this is simply the fact that all dictators are bad and there is no such thing as a good dictator.
A poor non-effective and slow democracy is a million times better than a dictatorship that seeks modernization and development fast because the day will come when that dictator will have to flee and behind him: there will be a huge huge mess and all the accomplishments will be destructed.
@ImperialGuardofIran If you want to debate about an issue, you should not be a wuss and remove your comments. Now about what you said; If I had to choose between freedom and justice, I would choose freedom. Because freedom gives you the right to protest against unjustice. Shah was a criminal because he took away our freedom and wanted to replace it with prosperity even though these dont substitue eachother. Only an idiot would value his full stomach above the freedom of his country.
@Mehranrokh it wasent that i was a wuss its that i dont want a debate but if u knew the ideas behind the sayying "FREEDOM IS NOT THE FREEDOM TO DIE IN THE STREET" you wouldent make such comments and i would pick development over political freedom any day as "democracy is just a word when people are starving" in terms of modern liberalism u have to be developed first and then you can fully empower the Individual the democracy is useless if say 50% of the country cant read
@Mehranrokh I agree, to the Shah's credit he was a more progressive ruler than the Mullahs that deposed to him but he made many errors due to the fact it was an absolute monarchy.
Are you essentially saying that the Shah was a dictator?
He had said that 'A dictator can shed the blood of his people, but not a sovereign.' That is why he chose not to open fire on the people who had protested against him in the streets.
Many people in Iran are now saying 'God rest his soul.'
What can be said about the Shah is that, although he may have made mistakes in his reign, deep down inside he had wanted the best for Iran and tried to reach that goal.
@daughterofiran It does not matter whether he wanted the best for his country or not. Shah demolished our constitutional democracy, the most important acheivement of Iranians in the recent history, for illegitimate Western interests. By doing so, he paved the way for fanaticism to blossom, which has led to alot of misery and suffering. Shah did what all dictators do, choke any voice of opposition by any means. All dictators are ruthless and there is no such thing as a good dictator. Wake up.
@Mehranrokh "When Iranians start to behave like Swedes, then I will behave like the King of Sweden" when you try to bring 'democracy' in a country where the population hasn't know democracy, you're going to get trouble.
@hoiiooiiooiiooiiooii You should know that Iran was a democracy before the coup of 1953. Iran was the first country in Asia to introduce parliamentarism (1906).
Do u think that in countries with a democratic rule, every individual has a phd degree in "political science" or in "the history of social development"?
It is the "Elite" of a nation that defines the path upon which a nation will move. Shah's crime was reomving that Elite and doing what dictators do: silence any voice of opposition.
@Mehranrokh If Iran would've got 'democracy' in the 50's it would've ended up like most African countries (civil war, ...). Iranians can't handle so much freedom.
@hoiiooiiooiiooiiooii Actually in 50s, it was the West who could not tolerate freedom and deomcracy in Iran, that is why they toppled the deomcratic government of PM Mosadeq and installed Shah so that they could continue stealing the Oil. If you wanna give your opinion, at least have a minimum knowledge of the topic.
@Mehranrokh "... so that they could continue stealing the oil... " the shah didn't let them steal it, he was the one who raised the prise. The revolution happened because of the West, they couldn't cope with the prices that the shah asked. If you wanna give your opinion, at least have a minimum knowledge of the topic.
@hoiiooiiooiiooiiooii You are right about the oil prices but the revolution was not plotted by the West, West was just the winner of the revolution. There is no doubt that Shah cared about Iran and he raised the oil prises in 70s. However this alone could not undo the past.
He came to power through foreign intervension and for illegitimate Western interests, he demolished the constitution that tens of thousands of Iranians had bled for decades agor. Dont justify a dictator and a murderer.
@Mehranrokh He had the right to kill. I think he should have killed all Iranians who protested in 1979. He wasn't given the chance. He didn't like to kill, but he had to (muslimfundamentalists, marxists, ...), he even said that when he died, his son should bring democracy to Iran.

Imam Khomeini was a saviour of the world,by breaking the idols of Imperialism and communism.He changed lives of millions,by bring us out of a life of slavery to the super powers.we must be thankful to ALLAH for sending Imam Khomeinei
Mohamad Reza Shah Pahlavi had done many goods for Iran, but … he will always be remembered in history by his legacy, which he had left for Iran … The Islamic Republic of Iran! He will be remembered as one of the worst Iranian monarchs and the "Shah who handed Iran to the Mullahs and Islam"! Mohamad Reza Pahlavi's legacy shall always be tainted by his betrayal of his comrades, abandonment of Iran and Iranians and mostly by his cowardice.
@AxcendarIV Your an idiotic fool, the stupid people of Iran chose the islamic republic they voluntarily fucked themselves, so fuck them I say. It's the Shah's fault that Iran fell to Islam?? Eeeeh I am no Historian, but I am quite certain that the Shah was not present at the battle of Qadissyah 1400 years ago.
@Gorrrillla5 If I hd to choose between Hitler and Goebbels,I would choose Goebels. Who cares! They areboth assholes. Shahs time was better but he was an asshole anyway, doesnt matter if he was better than a dictator-mullah!!
The Iranian ppl deserve a good government. The Shah and Khomeini were one and the same, both having secret police, not allowing political dissent, the hell with both. God bless a free and secular Iran.
The Shah was not Just The King ,The Mohamad Reza Pahlavi and His Grate Father The Reza Pahlavi ARE Heros Of Iranian Nation They Both did too Much To Iran And the World could not Talerate Iran Growing Fast ,Thats why The send Ayatolah to Iran To destroy Iran and they Succeeded unfortunately ,they send Iran To stone age
Mosadegh.was not democratically elected . He was chosen by the Parliament by consensus and appointed by the Shah according to the Constitution of Iran. I wish they would stop saying Mosadegh. was democratically elected because it was not true.
if the CIA helped the Shah return to power it saved Iran from falling into the hands of the Communists and Russia who were poised to take over.
Under the Shah Iran had its greatest development remember that!
Mossadegh was not a communist, in fact he despised 'Socialism'! The British and the U.S by putting the Shah back into power was in fact the greatest ill that happened to Iran. Because you see it in the end the Shah allowed Khomeini to come to power and allow Iran to become a fundamentalist Islamic country. Which would turn the clock back on all the years of progress that the Shah achieved.
The people of Iran are not free. If a woman want's to go into the streets of Iran without her chador she can't, if she wants a divorce from a man she can't unless she sacrifices custody of her children. This is just the issue of womens rights their are many many more in Iran where I could prove how fundamentalist islam has hurt Iran another big one is political dissent. I agree that the west hurt Iran by supporting the shah only because it put fundamentalism (Islamic rep) into power eventually.
@payazaiskool Under Islam wearing a hijab is obligitory anyway, I would hardly call that lack of freedom. In America when women divorce they get the children & usually they suffer a huge financial burden because of it. Plus the children tend become out of control especially boys. I have talked to American woman & they like the idea of the men being forced to take the kids. As a convert to Islam I see the wisdom behind these Islamic rules, and that is why Islam is growing rapidly in the West.
How would you feel if the American government said that everyone must obide by the laws Christianity, and anything deemed to be and attack on Christianity will be made illegal. Nor in Iran is it right for the Islamic republic to force all people to live under the laws of Islam. I am an advocated of Secular democracy that doesn't pander to anyone (America,England, Russia, China) but rather to the people of Iran. I am not advocating for the abolishment of Islam but rather the Islamic republic.
@payazaiskool If women in Iran were able to wear whatever they wanted and were able to have custody of their children, Iran would still be no better of economically or politically. Look at much of Africa, their women wear whatever they please and get custody of their children yet they still suffer and are still less progressive economically and politically then Iran. As Muslims we are to follow Allah (swt) for he knows best.
You said that your a convert to Islam and I commend you for independently investigating religion and making a decision for yourself and not falling for the Islamophobia that is rampant in American society. But I would ask you to please ENLIGHTEN yourself on the Islamic republic and Iran. The Islamic republic has consistently murdered and hung political dissidents,and others.
@jihadifanclub listen, i dont care what the "consequences" are economically and politically, women are human beings just like men and they have the right to wear any clothes they want, its ok to be muslim, but dont FORCE every1 else to be muslim, there is no reason to force a women who doesnt want to wear hijab, to make her wear it, its not right, women have a right to make the decision for themselves
@tupacIzAlive33 Iran is an Islamic country and so they follow Islamic law. Having a dress code is not a humans rights violation. It is put in place to help protect women. If you are not a Muslim no one is forcing you to live in an Islamic state. I live in the US. Women can't go around topless. Yet in some socieites women can. But if they come to the US they must cover their breast. I don't see anyone saying that this is oppressive or against human rights.
@jihadifanclub first of all i know u have never been to iran, because if u had been there u would know how the ppl feel about this regime, 2nd of all, ur arguement is flawed saying that in western societies u cant be topless, first of all they have designated beaches where u can be topless, 2nd of all topless is different, and u are forgetting something, the majority of ppl in iran do not follow sharia law, they drink, party, wear western clothing, all that,
@tupacIzAlive33 1. Why can women only go topless at SOME beaches while men go topless anywhere? 2. As Muslims we are supposed to live under Islamic Law not secular law. Shariah is a part of our religion that must be practiced it is not optional according to Islam. Hijab is obligitory and must be worn. I didn't make the rules. Don't get mad at me for simply stating the facts. If a Muslim wishes to not live under Islamic law & calls fo secularism they are pretty much an apostate.
@jihadifanclub u r saying sharia is a part of ur religion, i understand that, i have no beef with any religion, however, it is wrong when one religion, in this case islam, forces all the citizens of the cuontry to abide by the rules of islam, when not all the citizens are practicing muslims, uc ant jus say if u dont like the rules of iran then leave, iran belongs every bit as much to christians, jews, zoroastrians, as it does to muslims, a country like the UAE is a good example of progress
@tupacIzAlive33 Well the majority of people are Muslims and since the majority claims to be Muslim then that is what the law of the land. Even in democracy the majority rules. Many Americans didn't agree with Bush but since the majority voted for him millions had to live under his policies. In secular America I can't have four wives. Why do I haft to abide by these rules? . But I haft to live by these rules because it represents the majority.
@jihadifanclub so when the majority says something it automatically becomes right? so u think it was right when france recently banned wearing the burka? u think it was right when there was segregation in the south in the US? both these times the majority said these things, but just because teh majority says it does not mean the law is right, 2nd of all u are supposed to fairly represent minorities in all countries, it is not fair tha jus cuz most ppl like to do somethin that all have to do it
@tupacIzAlive33 Just because people are in the majority it does not make it right always. But I do understand that the majority are going to be the ones that some what shape the rules and you can't ever make everyone happy. Thats simply life. You say its not fair when the majority rules, so should we get rid of democracy?
@jihadifanclub should we get rid of democracy? r u trying to tell me iran is a democracy? u havent been to iran, u dont know what it looks like, u dont kno the peoples feelings towards the regime, the majority of the people are AGAINST sharia law, and are AGAINST the regime, but thats not the point, the point is even if there is a minority ur supposed to protect the rights of those minorities, in other words DONT FORCE one group of ppl to do wut the majority wants jus becuz there is less of them
@tupacIzAlive33 I never said Iran was a democracy, I just found it funny that you said that you don't like the idea of majority rule which is the essence of democracy. And IF the majority of people in Iran hate Islamic law and want secularism as you claim then they are not really Muslim and let them rise up against the regime like they did the shah.
@jihadifanclub majority rule does not mean the majority are supposed to be able to do wutever they want, the majority of people in teh united states are not muslim, but if the majority one day voted to make all muslims have to wear a patch identifying thems as muslims it would NOT be right, just because the majority says something does not make it right, majority rule is not the same as democracy, and yes the iranian people support secularism,they r tryin to rise up against regime but its hard
@jihadifanclub uhh actually its not, because the jews were FORCED to wear those patches, and ppl in iran are FORCED to wear hijab, in both cases people are being forced to wear something, people shoudl be free to choose their own attire, if some1 wants to obey islamic sharia law thats ok, but do not force other people to obey it
@tupacIzAlive33 You are totally right. People should be able to wear whatever they want. When women in America can go topless where ever and when ever they want just like men and when you can get rid of the "no shoes, no shirt, no service " policy in all 50 states then we can change things in Iran.
@jihadifanclub i cant believe ur comparing walking around the streets naked, to wearing clothes, jus for ur information sharia law is BULLSHIT, did u like when the taliban enforced the strictest form of sharia the world had ever seen? where every1 had to wear the burqa and women were forbidden from education after the age of 8??? is that the world u want to live in??
@tupacIzAlive33 I love the Taliban because they brough t stability to Afghanistan and tried to help the Afghan people. I'm don't fall for the negative propaganda said about them by the Western media because it is all lies. How many times must you be lied to? It called demonization of ones enemy in order to justify oppression. America didi it to the Native Americans, black Africans, commmuist, Vietamnese, and now the Taliban,
@jihadifanclub u love the taliban? so what do u have to say about their treatment of women? not letting women over the age of 8 get educated or work, what do u have to say about that? why do u bring teh subject back to the Americans?? im not talking about the americans the americans have done terrible things, but taht does not make the taliban good, the taliban opressed their people u idiot, jus answer do u think its right taht they didnt allow women to pursue education?????
@tupacIzAlive33 None of those allegations are true. That is all propaganda just like the things the media said about the Iraqis greeting Americans as liberators. Its fake fake fake. There is always two sides to every story. And according to Afghans I have chated with that lived their they say it is fake. Just because the media says somthing I don't believe it. The media is run by corporations that push agendas based upon money. /watch?v=_iPpoiJNins
@payazaiskool u r pretty smart, u can not convince ppl like that, just like the shahs supporters, who believe he was just and never did anything bad, the current regimes supporters are just as lost, they are oblivious to everything, i hope 1 day iran can have a government without religion influencing it
@jihadifanclub i ask you a question my friend? As an American Muslim doesn't it bother you what Islamic fascist in the Iranian government and Arab terrorist groups are doing to the name of Islam? Islam is religion that preaches tolerance, peace, and brotherhood among man not what the Islamic Republic preaches.
@payazaiskool 1. The only thing I know about the Iranian government is what the Western media tells me. And they obviously are telling tons of lies in order to demonize Iran so that we can either invade Iran or overthrow the government again. So I find it hard to believe much of the negative I hear about Iran. 2. I believe the 'terrorist" are freedom fighters. They have a right to kill American troops for invading their country. Also the bombings that kill the innocent are done by the CIA.
@jihadifanclub the truth about iran is not what the western media tells u, it is also not what the current iranian regime tells u, the truth is in the middle, and the only way one could know the truth is if he goes to iran and actually sees what the people are going through, i am glad shah was overthrown but this regime is just as bad
@payazaiskool Islam is about tolerance, peace and brotherhood. But these aspects of faith should be practiced under the proper Islamic context. How does Iran not preach tolerance, peace, and brotherhood?
@jihadifanclub Did you pay attention to the post-election protest last year. People peacefully protesting the results of an election and than as a result being killed, beaten, imprisoned is not tolerance. You say that Islam must be practiced under the proper context. Well people will disagree on the context of Islam so inherently the system is being unjust and depriving someone of liberty.That is why their should be secular democracy so people can live their lives as they wish!
@payazaiskool 1. I did pay attention to the post election protest, and I saw what happened and I think that it was horrible. But in the United States they turned vicious dogs and water hoses on people who protested in the1950s & 60s just because they were black. Also look at the treatment of people in Guantanamo bay. Things like this happened even in SECULAR DEMOCRATIC America. 2. In Islam we must live by Gods law not secular laws, Islam does deny some freedoms but not all freedoms are good.
@jihadifanclub there was recently a law passed in france where they maid it ILLEGAL to wear burkas, this law is equally as stupid as the laws in iran, because they r FORCING ppl not to wear something, if a women wants to wear a burka she has that right, just like if she does not want to wear hijab she does not have to, what u dont understand is, a MINORITY are making the rules in iran, while the MAJORITY do not approve of them, the majority of the population in iran does not want islamic law

The more I learn about politics, the more I study leaders of the past and the present, the more I look at both sides of the story, seems to me there is right and wrong, no good side or bad side but only greed for power. What is the meaning of this? As you grow up they teach you that the good guys always win but think about IRAN for example. The Shah went and now the country in run by dictators, murderers. When is this chaos going to end?
@DrAvesta i totaly agree with you, but i think the problem is the fact that Iranians are naive, when a mullah says that he is going to give democracy, you already know that he is lying.
britsh lied to cia about mosadegh thet he is changing power toward communist.thats why he was arrested.all of our problems root is in the eye of britsh government... even a child in iran knows it...
دم شاه گرم، واقعا این اجنبیها و دشمنان استقلال ایران چطوری تونستن با تبلیغات شاه رو آدم بدی جلوه بدن و خمینی حرومزاده رو آدمی خوب؟ ۳۰ سال مردم توسط تبلیغات اجنبیها سر کار بودن و امروز فهمیدن که سر کار بودن، چون وقتی شاه از ایران رفت، سعادت و خوشبختی هم رفت و به جاش نکبت، بدبختی با خمینی اومد.
Unfortuantly,as in 79 there was some close mind people and lack of educated and blindly they accept anything someone khomeini told them,still we can see the same type in peresent time,like @atheist122, do you realy think this country is ready for democracy? if yes, then you are so optimistic and wrong.
The poor Shah. Has any recent historical figure been more maligned, more unappreciated for his achievements, more misrepresented? Virtually all of the claims made by Khomeini supporters about the brutality of his regime and his corruption have either been convincingly refuted or shown to be vastly exaggerated.
شاه کس ننت شاه....کس بيبيت شاه.....کس خواهرت شاه....کير آمريکا و اسرايل هي ساک زدي وقت مردنت از آمريکا مثل سگ بيرونت کردن. اونوقت يک مشت خايه مال دارن هنوز هم پشت کير سياه Obama ميگردن براي کون دادن!!
درودبر این پدر و پسر که ایران را از هیچ به همه چیز رسوندن. ملت هم فریب توطئههایی که برای شاه ترتیب داده شدبود رو خوردن و رفتن دنبال آخوند و امروز پشیمون هستن ولی پشیمونی چه فایده؟
mother fucker piece of shit..i dnt know from which shit whole u r talking and if u really a pakistani..mother fucker listen carfully i know whats happening in pakistan ..bitch u r nt even civilized most of ur people are like animals.everybody hate you suckers. we will back to shahs days u stupid and we will finish what our last generation did not..means fuck ur dirty religious islam and put in the garbage can of history.
Islamic Republic regime of Iran is the legitimate son of Shahs regime. It is direct result of the hopelessness that shah brought to the beautiful people of Iran. Let people like Shah and Khomeini be dead for ever, since a good dictator is a dead dictator.
a good patriotic dicatorial system is not a bad system when the environment of a country is not prepared for democracy. The hippies and dreamers never understand this
showdoy, this is in reply to your: u r a mentally deranged psychopath, pathological diaper head. you were born stupid, raised stupid, live stupid life of a terrorist and die stupid as a worthless parasite punk. i spit on the face of the mother who gave birth to such a warped immature subhuman who happens to live in the pakie ghetto with an access to a computer. for god sake get some education, if you are living in the west learn some etiquette and then come and talk to people. ok, u subhuman
shadowcry; I am addressing you. thanks god your not Iranian i don't know why you express thuggish opinions here. i wonder what happened to you when you were a little boy, did your father sit you on his lap and zipped down told you to play with it. is it why you turned out to be such subhuman muslim who is desperate to die in the hope of meeting 73 houris that you couldn't meet one in this world.
you asked who revoluted against the shah, well they were subhumans like u 1million out of the 5mill
i dunno pagan fuck maybe when you go to light your flame and pray to the shah his dick will magically appear and you can suck it.
I don't know why you stupid persians love the shah, especially after overthrowing him.
But truly it is good you live in the states, the nation of whores that you can reminisce about oppressing the persian populace and sucking the shahs dick.
your subhuman since you live in the us and suck the shahs little impotent penis
I am so sorry for what happened to Iran and to Shah.I believe it was planned from US and UK.And anybody who didn't know about it 30 years ago, will know about it as easy as a simple search on youtub!How stupid of us to destroy our happiness like that.I am soooooo sorry.Shah was not perfect, but he was more good than bad.Today many Iranians can only dream about those days and Shah.......,I am sorry for what happened to him.Long live Iran.
GJ America for installing the Shah?

Very interesting - shame about the narrator's extremely annoying voice and his inability to pronounce Persian names properly despite seemingly making a great effort. Anyone who really wants to get an inside track on who the Shah was between 1968 - 1977 should read 'The Shah and I - The Confidential Diaries of Iran's Royal Court', written by his court minister and confidant Assadollah Alam. Unputdownable.

He made a speech and said that from 79 we will never give our oil to evil for nothing, and in 79 Iran had the revolution. Only sheeps believe what they see. Learn, research and inform

@dinavienna Yes, Mossadegh was NEVER elected by the people. Iran's constitution did not allow for direct elections of the Prime Minister back then. He WAS popular, but not elected. Sorry to burst your bubble. Yes, the U.S./UK played a role in his overthrow, but his own errors were far more important than foreign involvement; his own allies deserted him because of the dangerous errors he was making.
CyrusTab 11 months ago 2
@dinavienna Torture under the Shah, while inexcusable, did not really begin until 1971, was GREATLY exaggerated, and was overwhelmingly used against the Mujahedin, Fadayan and some mullahs not against ordinary "people." Decadence is subjective, but, by most accounts, the Shah's immediate family did not live decadently, but some of his extended family did. For anyone to compare the Shah's regime to Saddam Hussein's suggestions a serious lack of historical awareness and cannot be taken seriously.

If it doesn't adapt to cultural differences (Religion), then it won't work and most of all it must be valued more than Capitalism. That's not the case today!

Are you essentially saying that the Shah was a dictator?
He had said that 'A dictator can shed the blood of his people, but not a sovereign.' That is why he chose not to open fire on the people who had protested against him in the streets.
Many people in Iran are now saying 'God rest his soul.'
What can be said about the Shah is that, although he may have made mistakes in his reign, deep down inside he had wanted the best for Iran and tried to reach that goal.

@daughterofiran It does not matter whether he wanted the best for his country or not. Shah demolished our constitutional democracy, the most important acheivement of Iranians in the recent history, for illegitimate Western interests. By doing so, he paved the way for fanaticism to blossom, which has led to alot of misery and suffering. Shah did what all dictators do, choke any voice of opposition by any means.

Mossadegh was not a communist, in fact he despised 'Socialism'! The British and the U.S by putting the Shah back into power was in fact the greatest ill that happened to Iran. Because you see it in the end the Shah allowed Khomeini to come to power and allow Iran to become a fundamentalist Islamic country. Which would turn the clock back on all the years of progress that the Shah achieved.

The people of Iran are not free.

This is just the issue of womens rights their are many many more in Iran where I could prove how fundamentalist islam has hurt Iran another big one is political dissent. I agree that the west hurt Iran by supporting the shah only because it put fundamentalism (Islamic rep) into power eventually.

@payazaiskool Under Islam wearing a hijab is obligitory anyway, I would hardly call that lack of freedom. In America when women divorce they get the children & usually they suffer a huge financial burden because of it. Plus the children tend become out of control especially boys.

As a convert to Islam I see the wisdom behind these Islamic rules, and that is why Islam is growing rapidly in the West.

@tupacIzAlive33 1. Why can women only go topless at SOME beaches while men go topless anywhere? 2. As Muslims we are supposed to live under Islamic Law not secular law.

Don't get mad at me for simply stating the facts. If a Muslim wishes to not live under Islamic law & calls fo secularism they are pretty much an apostate.

@tupacIzAlive33 None of those allegations are true. That is all propaganda just like the things the media said about the Iraqis greeting Americans as liberators. Its fake fake fake. There is always two sides to every story. And according to Afghans I have chated with that lived their they say it is fake. Just because the media says somthing I don't believe it. The media is run by corporations that push agendas based upon money. /watch?v=_iPpoiJNins

@payazaiskool u r pretty smart, u can not convince ppl like that, just like the shahs supporters, who believe he was just and never did anything bad, the current regimes supporters are just as lost, they are oblivious to everything, i hope 1 day iran can have a government without religion influencing it

@jihadifanclub i ask you a question my friend? As an American Muslim doesn't it bother you what Islamic fascist in the Iranian government and Arab terrorist groups are doing to the name of Islam? Islam is religion that preaches tolerance, peace, and brotherhood among man not what the Islamic Republic preaches.
payazaiskool 1 year ago
@payazaiskool 1. The only thing I know about the Iranian government is what the Western media tells me. And they obviously are telling tons of lies in order to demonize Iran so that we can either invade Iran or overthrow the government again. So I find it hard to believe much of the negative I hear about Iran. 2. I believe the 'terrorist" are freedom fighters. They have a right to kill American troops for invading their country. Also the bombings that kill the innocent are done by the CIA.

@jihadifanclub the truth about iran is not what the western media tells u, it is also not what the current iranian regime tells u, the truth is in the middle, and the only way one could know the truth is if he goes to iran and actually sees what the people are going through, i am glad shah was overthrown but this regime is just as bad

@payazaiskool Islam is about tolerance, peace and brotherhood. But these aspects of faith should be practiced under the proper Islamic context. How does Iran not preach tolerance, peace, and brotherhood?
jihadifanclub 1 year ago
@jihadifanclub Did you pay attention to the post-election protest last year. People peacefully protesting the results of an election and than as a result being killed, beaten, imprisoned is not tolerance. You say that Islam must be practiced under the proper context. Well people will disagree on the context of Islam so inherently the system is being unjust and depriving someone of liberty.That is why their should be secular democracy so people can live their lives as they wish!
payazaiskool 1 year ago
@payazaiskool 1. I did pay attention to the post election protest, and I saw what happened and I think that it was horrible. But in the United States they turned vicious dogs and water hoses on people who protested in the1950s & 60s just because they were black. Also look at the treatment of people in Guantanamo bay. Things like this happened even in SECULAR DEMOCRATIC America. 2. In Islam we must live by Gods law not secular laws, Islam does deny some freedoms but not all freedoms are good.

@jihadifanclub there was recently a law passed in france where they maid it ILLEGAL to wear burkas, this law is equally as stupid as the laws in iran, because they r FORCING ppl not to wear something, if a women wants to wear a burka she has that right, just like if she does not want to wear hijab she does not have to, what u dont understand is, a MINORITY are making the rules in iran, while the MAJORITY do not approve of them, the majority of the population in iran does not want islamic law

Mosadegh.was not democratically elected . He was chosen by the Parliament by consensus and appointed by the Shah according to the Constitution of Iran. I wish they would stop saying Mosadegh. was democratically elected because it was not true.
if the CIA helped the Shah return to power it saved Iran from falling into the hands of the Communists and Russia who were poised to take over.
Under the Shah Iran had its greatest development remember that!

The more I learn about politics, the more I study leaders of the past and the present, the more I look at both sides of the story, seems to me there is right and wrong, no good side or bad side but only greed for power. What is the meaning of this? As you grow up they teach you that the good guys always win but think about IRAN for example. The Shah went and now the country in run by dictators, murderers. When is this chaos going to end?

@DrAvesta i totaly agree with you, but i think the problem is the fact that Iranians are naive, when a mullah says that he is going to give democracy, you already know that he is lying.

Unfortuantly,as in 79 there was some close mind people and lack of educated and blindly they accept anything someone khomeini told them,still we can see the same type in peresent time,like @atheist122, do you realy think this country is ready for democracy? if yes, then you are so optimistic and wrong.

The poor Shah. Has any recent historical figure been more maligned, more unappreciated for his achievements, more misrepresented? Virtually all of the claims made by Khomeini supporters about the brutality of his regime and his corruption have either been convincingly refuted or shown to be vastly exaggerated.

Islamic Republic regime of Iran is the legitimate son of Shahs regime. It is direct result of the hopelessness that shah brought to the beautiful people of Iran. Let people like Shah and Khomeini be dead for ever, since a good dictator is a dead dictator.
