1979: How The Iranian Monarchy Fell | Last Persian Shah

[@jerolvilladolid]

The Iranian monarchy fell because the Shah was unwilling to kill easily. He could have assassinated Khomeini many times. But didnt. He’s similar to Louis XVI of france who could have had the 3rd estate representatives all hanged but hesitated to do so. If you will be an absolute monarch, never think twice about killing your opponents.

[@peterbradshaw8018]

The same thing happened in Iraq there young king was reluctant to kill even when the killers were approaching.

[@kingkashi5151]

That can have two results. 1. The people will fear you and not dare rebel against you. 2. The people get pissed off that your are trying to intimidate them and become more rebellious and start a revolution. When these kings hesitated in killing off their enemies as you are suggesting their nations were already in the brink of revolution so by choosing tolerance they were avoiding the second scenario from happening.

Theses so called mullas and fanatics hate Islam , that’s why they invented Shiite to separate us from being Arab and Arab’s virgin of Islam, if Islam was perfect why did we have to become Shiite in the first place? If Islam is so bad how come west is allied with most extremists and frantic Muslims in turkey and Saudi Arabia? Ask anyone in Iran, if Islam was more respected in shah time or current time? You’ll never find a speech from The Supreme Leader that talks about Islam or Mohammad, he’s always talking about Iran, Farsi language which he speaks better than anyone.

Time museum was not a Pahlavi palace. It belonged to a successful businessman called Hossein Khodadad which was confiscated by the revolutionary forces in 1979. Poor man fled to the US with only couple of hundred dollars in his pocket as all his assets were confiscated. If he remained in Iran, he would be executed. However in the US after a period of hard work he once again became a successful person and now owns a multimillion dollar business. It's indeed a beautiful place, it is close to where I used to live and I always met my friends there at its coffee shop. Mr. Khodadad in one of his interviews said that if he knew his house would one day become a place for people to spend good times he'd build 10 of them. He's a good man.

[@Andre-ij6vw]

If you want to understand the Shah's downfall, you must put it in the proper context. Support for the Islamic radicalism came from the west first . the primary reason was that Islam was the best bulwark against communism and the Soviet Union influence in the region and the rapid growth of Iran and the shah not being absolutely an obedient puppet. The Shah was just one of the regimes that had to be toppled in that era. Started in Afghanistan , then Egypt and then all over the region. The U.S. created the Talibans in Afghanistan. This was a geopolitical decision that was made at the highest level . No matter what the Shah did , he had to go . The documentary fails to mention why or who forced the Shah's father to abdicate to begin with . Why was he living in exile in Africa when your own son is supposedly the king and why Africa ? Because the Reza Shah was pro Aryan and the Nazi regime in Germany . As a matter of fact Hitler used to send happy Persian new year card to Iran and greeting them as Aryans. The meaning of Iran is the land of Aryans. Some people would like to rewrite history the way they see fit for their purpose but the truth will come out soon or later. God bless all the good people of this world.

Khomeini and his cohorts, shamelessly even sent children to war! Khomeini underestimated Saddam, as he had taken power in Iran easily (Khomeini deceived the US Democrat administration by claiming he was going to return to Qom and settle down to religious studies.

The Shah was NOT an American puppet when he was overthrown in 1978-79, but you need to understand the history and context. He WAS a puppet when the CIA-MI6 restored him to full power in the 1953 coup by toppling Mossadegh, who was basically a left-wing nationalist who wanted full independence. At the height of his power in the 60s and 70s the Shah had become an independent global player, who was pro-Western but also had very good relations with the Soviets (there were 5,000 Soviet advisers and technicians in Iran working in various projects, and beginning in 1967 the Shah also started buying arms from Moscow). The Iranian intellectuals and students were mostly Marxist and never forgave the Shah for his American ties, the radical Muslim clerics opposed the Shah because of his modernization, and most educated people disliked the press censorship and authoritarianism. Ironically, the new middle class that the Shah created was also against him.

[@ไอ้พวกอิสลาม]

And now, Iranians got what they wanted. A backward, barbaric, medieval "Islamic" regime. I can't believe Persia let itself be subjugated by inferior brutal religion. Ironic is, in 8th century, Islam invaded Persia brutality during the Sassinid empire. Im surprised that they willingly let themselves be subjugated by this inferior religion when Persia was one of the great civilization on earth. I think partly because Islam is very rigid and it tells its followers that its wrong to criticize Islam. That Islam is the "best" and pagan Persia is wrong. That Islam is the "light" and period before Islam is the "jahiliya". Ironically, Islamic period is the "jahiliya". 😌

So in the end everyone hated him for their own reasons. Khomeini got into the mosques, and offered the masses a promise of something better, and made the Shah a convenient scapegoat for everyone's complaints.

That was it and the Shahs regime was finished.

[@per.holtstrand]

The myth of the Shah being a tyrant, perhaps a narrative of the Persian Diaspora, was very dangerous. I still see it echoed today. People say that the Islamic republic was a response to the Shah's "brutal rule". No, the reverse correlation is true. The Shah's sometimes draconian measures was a RESPONSE to the forces that would finally take over.

[@myheroesofamerica719]

I just read a book about a woman in her family history from Poland to France in the 1920s to 1990s and one of her relatives ends up getting a second home. Her aunt would always fuss about this neighbor who would not keep up his ground next door and how loud he was and it was amusing to read in the next page that it was the Ayatollah Khomeini when he went back to I ran and took over, the neighborhood was quieter and her aunt would comment the grounds of his former home much nicer. It was just a bizarre and amusing thing to read. It was called The House of Glass. If I find the book, I will get the proper title and the author. Probably one of the best books I've read so far this year but the reference to Khomeini was rather amusing. Evidently he wasn't into yard work

[@mo-ash]

24:37 As a result of the white revolution, many residents from remote and rural areas moved to the peripheral regions near big cities especially Tehran. In that, after some years, those people helped Khomeini with forming the base of the Islamic revolution (in 1979).

[@bingbingbaobei]

1) Mossadegh was democratically elected. The CIA led a coup against him because he did not like the oil agreement (exploitation). He was kept under house arrest until his death, when he was buried in secret to prevent a revolution. The US denied this until 2016. 2) The West, especially the US, though Khomeini was "harmless." Hence, he was allowed to reside in France and return to Iran with no objections. 3) Declassified US documents show that the US disliked Bakhtiar. Although they were kind to his face, they did everything possible to undercut him behind his back. 4) Khomeini lied. He said women wouldn't have to wear a scarf. Gas and oil would be free. Many people believed it. 5) Khomeini probably would have been overthrown, but the need to unite in the Iran-Iraq War (Iraq attacked, the US and Russia helped Iraq) really cemented his grip.

[@hmmm3210]

Persian monarchy was a mutt of America though . Why do Rezaboos need to rewrite history to praise their supposedly indisputably good king?

[@alanyuan8565]

I remember watching the shah saying “he had no choice but to sign the oil deal of 1954” and had to militarize / modernize to avoid another humiliation that Iran endured decades earlier.

Hello, what's happening right now in Iran, it's a pay back to Ayatollah Khomeini for what he did in, 1979, to the Shah.

[@iranpahlavi3067]

let's clarify some things. It is said here that the shah was a good king and at times did not know what to do in bad times (the domestic one was a problem if it was a foreign problem they had a big problem with iran which was then the fifth most powerful country in the world world). the shah loved iran and his people (the shah's pronunciation. i am the king of kings by this he meant his people) the shah respected the choice of his people and left without destroying blood. the shah did not want to shed blood because he loved iran and his people he did not want to smear the crown with the blood of the people he loved. what would any other democratic country have done if the people chose a regime that would destroy that country (I think they gave it some thought). sit in the riot police (at that time iran didn't even have a riot police, after all the iranian people had lived in peace for so long) deploy the army and shoot the people. this the shah did not want as I had written before. as Milani says here that in his tenure the shah had executed 4000 terrorists who were a real threat to the Iranian people. how many people has this diabolical regime killed from 1979 to 2022 it is more than what the khmer red had killed in cambodia. but you hear nothing and nobody about that because some countries can now profit from Iran. what does the young generation of iran now want that is what the shah had achieved before 1979 democracy and freedom. the present diabolical regime has come to power with bloodshed and will leave with bloodshed. 🌹🤴🌹🍀✌️🍀💚☀️🤍🦁❤️🌹

[@gearsandgod]

Can't help but think this reads like a Greek tragedy. No doubt the Shah as all monarchs are, was insulated from his people and not sensitive to their actual needs, he wanted the best for them and unwittingly took action which inevitably led them into captivity.

[@ms_elle25]

The very ppl who deposed the Shah suffered from the regime of Khomeini. As of now, Iran can never rise again to glory it attained during the Pahlavi dynasty
