majidm: Pahlavis are Iranians, the only dynasty that did a lot of good for Iran. my mom cried too when Shah left and told me " we're doomed" What a king, gracefull family. PS: both my parents were teachers
The shah's vanity did him in. He thought of himself as the father of his country, but the country rose against him. He took it to heart and felt it keenly. At any price (unfortunately even blood) he wanted to restore the former image, cherished for years of a happy people prostate in gratitide before their benefactor. But he forgot that we are living in times when people demand rights, not grace. And the same applies for the current regime, we demand basic human rights, not theology.
After 2500 years, we are still searching for democracy in Iran. Unfortunately, we still have no idea what democracy is and what it takes to achieve it. Some still live in the past and some have disillusion-anal hope to live for future. You can't impose democracy on the people who don't understand what it's, to them it's just a "word".
If he had a little more compassion for his people, even for those who betrayed his country, his family would perhaps still be in power today. Get friends among your enemies and nobody will be able to harm you !.
i know many of you think shah was a dictator and some think this current regime is a dictatorship,i think both is correct,but listen when shah said"And 6 more will be shot" indicates that at least he was a honest person for his people and the country.can u imagine ahmadinejad saying that?!
I think, shah had a very good vision about the world and he understood the foreign policy very well. In fact, he understood it much better than he understood his own people. ONLY if he could understand it better...ONLY IF...then we wouldn't be suffering under these mullahs...its a pity...
shah was a patriot who modernized my country iran, freed iranian women and gave them full rights and shah finished the feudalism by law i love him really and i hate leftists, islamists and bitish BBC and jimmy carter who helped khomeini to power god bles the soul of my dear shah
I wish the reply would place these things where I put them. I was replying to some nut who was accusing Mike Wallace, and then some random guy on here of being a zionist.
Even your dear mossadegh was an aristrokrat, he was a decent from the Qajar dynasti. The nationalisation of the oil dident come thru with mossadegh.. it was Ahamd Shah who signed a 50 year contract with the english anglo oil compony check it up.. 1952 the contract was terminated and the oil was nationalised during mossadeghs reign. Understand ?
@SpacePope3000 What is wrong with Pahlavi? He was not perfect but he was EXTREMELY effective in advancing and modernizing Iran, and you have to judge him for the times he was living in, and not by modern 21st century Western standards.
Even he was bad to people at least he loved and cared about Iran, he loved Iran so much that he thought everything he was doing was justified because his only passion was greatnesss of Iran At the same time while controling oil, middle east, etc he couldn't control his own government , he cared more about development & tech in Iran no matter how evil he was you can't compair him to this regime IR is pure evil
back then iran was a secular country, they could have gone far, now its run by religious nuts....but i still belive there is hope in the youth of iran, who has grown tired of their oppressors, long live persia! love from norway =)
i kinda agree with nema1218 not only because share names but why if the shah was sooooo popular how would they get millions to overthrow the very man they supported....
if you don't know that much about him, i suggest that you read more information about him before you condemm him. The shah did many great things for his people including giving equal rights to women! You cannot base your opinion just by watching one youtube video!
right, savak was made of the CI A agnets in Iran, they don't follow any rules and don't even take orders from US government. Most agents in Iran had deals with the British SAVAK's main goal was to make Iranians angry against regime and SAVAK was 100% out of control of Shah The military was Sha's and in most cities, the soldiers never had any orders to shoot

@aria6191 It wasn't "the fastest growing economy," but definitely very fast. And after the revolution Iran had even more outstanding economic development. Saddam, noon found that he had chemicals.
I've got a bracelet from his exwife's auction when she snuffed it in Paris a few years or so ago. However , I will not express what I think about the Shah of Iran , I just know that iran hasn't got great genes for leaders these days. their good in maths , in medecine and have great looking women , but honestly the Shah was what people,would say a dictator , more stylish then the one's of today especu=ially in Iran ,but a dictator all the same.
@mc0558 to find out how much he has been and still is loved and respect by millions of IRANIAN, please once a while watch some of Iranian satellite TV. You have every right to have your own opinion, but don't talk in behalf of everybody. A large group of Iranian Love him very much, so don't try to deny this fact by ignoring them. In free &democratic IRAN, we should learn to respect each others different opinion & learn to live side by side, friendly with any disagreement. AZADEH bash IRANI
his own words came true and kicked him and his family out of the country. this is disapointing, only if he had paied a lil more attention to the needs of the people, this would not hav had happened and iran would still hav the pahlavies and the respect we had throught the world
Sophosaurus you really ought to read a book sometime, during his reign iran was a great economic power in the middle east, rial was strong and everything was secure, bastards like khomeini came in and took it now 1000 rials is $0.15 its quite impossible to respect someones opinions that have a lack of knowledge
I dunno why ppl in Iran have sucha problem with Ahmedinijad.He is the only one who spoke up for the Palestinian brothers and susters who were being murdered by dirty zionist thugs.He doesn't feel the need to hide behind America or feel scarded like Egypt or other Arab countried ie Saudi.A lot of ppl in the west especially those who have seen the recent crimes of the zionists, have new found respect for Dr.Ahmedinijad.May Allah give him long life.
@sandelf. The Iran-Iraq could have been avoided if only the US did not support brutal dictators in the middle east. How did Saddam Hussein achieve power? Through US support. Khomeini did not want Saddam's head he warned Saddam numerous times that if he went as far as invade that he would feel the Iranian wrath. Khomeini held votes among his people to what they wanted and yes he decided who the most significant candidates were.
This man never gave a shit about his own people and they returned the favor. His regime has been ousted and out of contention for ever. Shah lovers, it's time to choose a different route because the current regime has caused an eternal demolition of that route. It cannot be rebuilt, there aren't enough bricks to sustain it for a minimal of one day.
@kurdistaniyan--Look at your list and the name that you put down..all are Persian. South province of IRAN is KHOZESTAN do some research and find a map with different name, which has been published in world map since 7000 years ago. for your info all tiny country which has been created by British(SHAHRAK NOT even city size) around Persian Gulf were belong to IRAN, and they used to speak Persian+with more attention you will find mostly still speak Persian as well. YES,IRAN has lots of Nations
Very well, then...fair advice, I suppose...or warning in our case. But Ahmadinejad seems to be begging for invasion. The hope of persia may rest in the hands of the students who oppose this crazy man who would see Iran attacked for his personal glory.
say it often enough you will believe it. sad thing about that you will not be the first person ( iranian my countryman ) to do this. ahmadinejad does it. there is an alternative read.
He got kicked out beacause Iranians like you is much more comfortable with this current regime. It suits them better. Thats why se have 10 million Iranians living outside Iran..
he was a wise and good leader, if only he wasnt a fool to the the british and the americans. the only reason the americans and the british helped put him into power was for the cheap price of persian oil
this is the our king and he will be allways be in our heart and i wil love hime 4ever,and who do not love him they dont know him.he was the greatest king of our history and he will be,or people didnt know because they didnt have enough egucation,tnx
I dont need the definition of knowledge, but from your views i can still see the lack of it the nation is in slavery now. Youre going to talk about industrialization and economy, he was a genius reguarding these two areas, he didnt sell the oil source like these bastards are doing now, he made products of oil and sold them, this meant more income and employment, the way in which he ran the country was not his downfall, it was his belief that if the iranian people want him to go, he will go
Knowledge doesn't come in shape of oversimplification. Lots of people don't even realize that Reza acted and talked the way all fascist idiots did. I. e. industrialization instead of building up the basics which are the factories, mass education instead of strengthening artisanry. This way he caused what happened in all countries that were mislead this way. Exchange rates aren't always a matter of public property. Sometimes they indicate a nation in slavery.
i'm always amazed by iranians supporting the Shah. Don't you remember that you made revolution against him in 1979 ? So if you don't like the current dictatorship in Iran, you must be therefore for the Shah ? What about simply supporting a republican democracy, not a theocratic dictatorship or a dictatorial monarchy ?
Guess I did my homework, but a lot of you just say what you think and ignore the FACTS! Shah could be improved, yes indeed, but who can improve Islamic Republic? Emam Zaman?
@faravor that why the Mad Khomeyni called Persian Gulf az Arabian , or just keep %11 of Caspian see... just learn exactly what is going on and than talk...
The gentlemen you speak of were part of an organization that has openly been recieving funds and arms from foreign interests, kept a standing army in Iraq, fighting and killing a great number of Iranian soldiers. Members of such organization that has commited treason and these atrocities AFTER your so called revolution (post Shah) were angles during the Shah's rule?
wow..so its shah who decides who betrays the country and who doesn't. This is the worst form of dictatorship. PS i am not iranian..just my obervation from the interview
in haroomzadeh agar rast migoft 2 dasti bahraino taghdim nemikard , in haroomzadeh agar rast migoft mardomo chand hezarta chand hezarta too khiabun be ragbar nemibast , chi shode hala tarafdare iran shode?
Unfortunately he decide to free Komeini assassin criminal from his Jail as peaceful and compassion act. We know the results of Komeini slaughters of Iranian peoples in 1979.
It's interesting how the iranians in exile glorify the Shah. Russians post communist rule do the same to the living descendants of their Tsar. If anything Lenin was better than the Tsar,probably Stalin too.Americans today believe Reagan was a good president when in fact he made the poor poorer in the USA and the rich richer.
@kurdistaniyan take it easy dear ,many say Persian = IRANas the name of country not as the NATION. every thing in IRAN belongs to all IRANIAN nation. Don't act childish, you know what they mean
His majesty was too good for some of his countrymen.They never unerstood what he had in mind for Iran.May he rest in peace.
it's unreal that after 30 years of HIM death, he still can shake Iranians to the core.
He was a great patriot! A real statesman!
History Has shown he was a great king and father for iranian , rest in peace
god bless you the shah..may you rest in peace forever and always. you were a true man.... the best for iran.... you are my idol.
God bless the Shah!! :D
We love so much our great king..
Very well put. God bless the King, Shahanshah Aryamehr. He was the best thing that happened for our country.
Great man. R.I.P
What a great man.
Thank you for this video.
Iran even makes a soft and kind man like the last shah a cold hearted man sometimes
WOW, How many tomans you would get for one doller during his time $1= 7tomans, now $1= 1000 tomans. Long live the supporters of SHAH
majidm: Pahlavis are Iranians, the only dynasty that did a lot of good for Iran. my mom cried too when Shah left and told me " we're doomed" What a king, gracefull family.
PS: both my parents were teachers
thank you :D
JAVID SHAH!
JAVID SHAH!
God, this is unbelievable. How can we have such leaders? Who choose them for us? How did they become our leaders?
@mc0558 you are just right in your assessment of Iranian youth of the bygone era.
Does anyone have the whole video?
this is so intresting to me, please help
RIP!
Contrary to what you may believe, what I post is my own personal opinion. Though I will admit that many many people share my opinion of the late shah.
The shah's vanity did him in. He thought of himself as the father of his country, but the country rose against him. He took it to heart and felt it keenly. At any price (unfortunately even blood) he wanted to restore the former image, cherished for years of a happy people prostate in gratitide before their benefactor. But he forgot that we are living in times when people demand rights, not grace. And the same applies for the current regime, we demand basic human rights, not theology.

Shah ♥️
scotty: since you know so much about Iranian politics tell me how old was khomaini during mossadegs era?
"and 6 more would be shot because they're betraying their country, 'not me'!" yeah... true words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think, shah had a very good vision about the world and he understood the foreign policy very well. In fact, he understood it much better than he understood his own people. ONLY if he could understand it better...ONLY IF...then we wouldn't be suffering under these mullahs...its a pity...
shah was a great leader iran would have been different country by now
shah was a patriot who modernized my country iran, freed iranian women and gave them full rights and shah finished the feudalism by law i love him really and i hate leftists, islamists and bitish BBC and jimmy carter who helped khomeini to power god bles the soul of my dear shah

Your spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again
You are my king
forever!
Persia would have gone soooo far by now if it wasnt for the sanctions.
Even your dear mossadegh was an aristrokrat, he was a decent from the Qajar dynasti.

oh yeah sorry,u are right,he has balls of steel made in Iran, assembled in the US/UK.
@SpacePope3000 What is wrong with Pahlavi? He was not perfect but he was EXTREMELY effective in advancing and modernizing Iran, and you have to judge him for the times he was living in, and not by modern 21st century Western standards.
why didnt you kill khomeini???
@TheDaryaLove So smart that he saw the largest revolution in human history. I wouldn't call him smart friend.
Even he was bad to people at least he loved and cared about Iran, he loved Iran so much that he thought everything he was doing was justified because his only passion was greatnesss of Iran
At the same time while controling oil, middle east, etc he couldn't control his own government , he cared more about development & tech in Iran
no matter how evil he was you can't compair him to this regime
IR is pure evil
@mutludude
hhhh
funny what you said. namely 'the trial"
:)
back then iran was a secular country, they could have gone far, now its run by religious nuts....but i still belive there is hope in the youth of iran, who has grown tired of their oppressors, long live persia! love from norway =)

His silly son has the nerve to talk about human rights after the people ran shah out on a rail.
