And I saw hundreds of Iranian protestors in London Hyde Park shouting their usual death wishes to the Shah, and the US. Later to the British... So who were they, if not Iranians? It takes a lot of people to change an entire regime and way of life. I believe most Iranians wanted what they got, just when they got they realised quickly it worse than before. Then the Middle East exploded... USSR invaded Afghanistan, Iraq invaded Iran, and life in Iran was no longer stable or progressive as before.

Bakhtiar would've been a fine prime minister and he would've initiated the complete liberalization of the country which would've also brought the disbandment of SAVAK and a different sort of intelligence service would've been setup with an emphasis on the gathering of foreign intelligence and no more internal repression.

good point. anyway, it seems this script about torturing their own people is being replayed right now.

[@marmary5555]

That is *exactly* what they did. They went on an unmatched execution spree from 1979 to present time. The same people whining about the King's supposed "torture"which the West kept bringing on screen for pity parties became the main character of massive torture and execution of children, women and men in Iran. Between 1980-1988: thousands - if not Millions of Iranians - were brutally tortured and executed on orders of a "Sharia law" because of their secular political beliefs. Many of the survivors and the victim's families' organized a people's Tribunal called "Iran Tribunal" with the goal of documenting these savage events that followed the revolution of 1979. The islamic republic of Iran was doing exactly what Isis/Daesh/Al Qaeda is doing today. Mr Hamid Ashtari was one of the first post-revolutionary political prisoners: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooS9onZojtSZgsk He clearly states that in the summer of 1981, ANYONE who was opposed to the islamic republic was systematically executed and thus started a decade of brutal genocide of "koufars" (infidels). He was regularly interrogated. 12:30 he explains how Ayatollah Guilani and Ayatollah Khomeini declared "fatwas" against dissidents and thus it became a religious matter. Mr Khoshzugh was one of these political prisoners who had witnessed 70 executions of Iranians who were against mullah + the islamic regime. He says he was forced to convert to Islam: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6q3hpWEjdemoMU (Jump to approximately 12:30 in the video when one of the Court judges asks him to explain in details exactly what he was asked to do under torture) Here is another one, Mr Daneshvar who was imprisoned in the early 1980s by the order of the psychopathic mullah Khalkhali and he has a list of at least 80 people whom he personally knew and were executed. Some were schoolchildren and they were executed inside classrooms at their own schools. (That was a typical Khalkhali method) Unfortunately, there is no translation available but here is the link to his court hearing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baLcq4GIpZujfbs Around 7:10 minutes in the video he speaks of the notorious "5 minutes trials" and what he had to endure: Prisoners were brought before committees and asked whether they renounced their political organisations, were Muslims, prayed, believed in the Islamic republic and were prepared to walk through Iraqi minefields.They were given a few minutes to consider. A negative answer resulted in their being taken out and hanged on cranes or shot. Women were reportedly raped before execution. Bodies were often dumped in mass graves; many have never been recovered. When he entered the court, he was beaten and then put on "trial" then tortured according to islam and they were forced to listen to the Quran day in and day out. But he says that the mullahs have lost their battle because they did not succeed to convert them since all of the survivors stand here today against them. Mr Kaykavousi was another family member who lost his 17 year old sister to the islamists: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWSueKKgqrucqZI Mr Jabari is another one testifying instead of his sister who's husband Ebraim was executed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6Oql5Zsl96SgLs (Jump to 6:25) Mr Rahimi was consequently imprisoned together with his two sisters, brother and father. Unfortunately, there are no subtitles but his recalls the same brutality and breaks down around 05:30 in the middle of giving graphic account of how he witnessed tortures and executions on a daily basis: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnjJZpinZsSejqM

Mr. Cisco 21:30 presented one of the most accurate statements among others . I enjoyed how he comprehended the situation. However, as an Iranian I should admit that one of the major both Iranian & the US failure was their collaboration to topple the Persian King. Regime😢

[@James-zi5en]

[@catherinemartinez6915]

What I meant is that people that read tarot cards are only on that mindset of terror that's my opinion about reading these tarot cards

[@edster9743]

[@alkay872]

[@farahtopash8032]

They must learn God's law cuz they obviously don't know that there are God's rules and God's laws they haven't been taught do their religion I don't know what type of religion there believe in

[@janasss]

What's the point of uploading these videos right when Iranians are in the streets getting killed by a brutal regime that the west installed. Iran was a prosperous country and had full control over its national recourses under Shah.

[@juliepashko7458]

@Sir Christofer Braxton Well, they're doing really well now being pally with Putin. That's a really sorry friendship, but that's where the money is now, right? Who else can Iran hang onto? They've alienated just about everyone else. Russia, that grabber of Northern Persian land, old terroriser of Iran, now doing deals with the Persian mullahs. Oh golly.

[@marmary5555]

Actually it's very relevant because it's a reminder of history and also reminding Iranians not to make the same again after this brutal Islamic regime falls. It also helps us understand why Iranians regret the 1979 revolution

[@jiwoooppa6889]

history judged Persia...you lost a great King.

[@marmary5555]

Also Persia recoverd after Mongol, Turk, Arab, Sovietic and British attempted invasions. Iranians are claiming back Iran right now as we speak and they are waving the Derafshé Kaviani flag. 👍

[@ozaernajim4315]

CIA setup Savak--taught them torture---hmm I see a pattern here.

[@threemobileone1371]

The overthrow of the late Shah of lran in 1979 by UK&USA might be the biggest TABOO subject in West since WW2, but it isn't their best kept secret among us lranians. Iranians will not forget nor forgive.

[@benitasam9171]

Shah said that history will judge us, everything he said is happening. All the Iranians are shouting, king of Iran, come back to Iran. Iranians should be hopeful because they have the prince.
