Greetings, i write to recommend to u the best historian i have found A great american named james perloff, president of the john birch society His level of understanding blew me away
Thank you Dr. Alvandi, While I have some disagreements with you on your interpretation of Iranian history from 1950-1978, I would say overall you have very accurately laid out a cautionary story that most people, especially most Westerners are unaware of. Thank you for your work.
We still live under the legacy of the Iranian revolution, contemporary islamism began with Khomeini, its alive and well and growing all over the Western world like a malignant virus 🦠
I have a serious problem with this gentleman saying that Iranians wanted an Islamic state!!! That's about as wrong as it gets. Maybe he is or was one of them but that's a crass statement.
While I was listening to this rather misleading speech, I couldn't help but think about how misinformed or intentionally distorted the interpretation of the Iranian Revolution is. The Shah of Iran was modernizing the country, investing in infrastructure, building schools, hospitals, roads, airports, and creating jobs. He was a champion of women's rights, allowing them the freedom to pursue education and work. Under his leadership, Iran was growing stronger by the day. It was precisely this progress that became intolerable for his enemies and certain Western powers. His leadership of OPEC, where he played a major role in setting oil prices, made him a target. These powerful enemies promoted Khomeini as a puppet, and media outlets like the BBC propagated a false narrative that led to the downfall of a thriving nation. It's time we face the truth: Iranians today understand what really happened. The Shah’s contributions to Iran were immense, and the slander against him is nothing but misinformation. He led Iran to a place of unprecedented strength, and history will remember him as a visionary who brought Iran to its peak.
I would love to watch him talk about the enlightment on the west support of the Zionism regarding decades of agression against The Palestine. Please talk about it.
Why? Why does everything have to focus around the Palestinians and the Israelis? There are worse things happening in the Sudan right now, much worse than in Gaza.
really fascinating talk, such an important issue to understand, some extremely interesting points raised 👍
Great talk. Interesting details were pointed out.
One of the best (if not the best) historians of modern Iran.
Really? 🙄How so? 🤔

Did you know there were organizers taking students from campuses to protest in Washington DC and in Berlin?

Ayatollah 'Animal' Blundetto had the last laugh.

No part of the issue is acceptable moderation of capitalistic materialism, and acceptance of responsibility to the community.

What an uneducated speaker that is advertising for Mosadegh who illegally made a cue and closed democratic parliament.
I think you have to say Shii Islam.
The revelation is great which prevented secularization of Iran.
are you joking or serious?
Troll
Revelation?
or Revolution?
Was that a typo?
or was it deliberate?🤔
