What an absolutely brilliant man with an amazing foresight and the ability to analyze world issues 40 years ahead of his time! One can look at this interview today as though the interview was conducted yesterday and not 44 years ago, because every single issue he brought up is as relevant today as he authored them 44years ago! It wasn’t just Iran who lost an incredible leader and a father of a nation but the entire world missed his leadership and foresight! Just look at what happened to Middle East, Europe, and the rest of the world soon after he was betrayed by his ungrateful people, and his so called “friends” in World leaders! A truly a remarkable man for ages who loved his country, it’s people, and not only wanted the best for Iran but also the rest of the world! It is a tragedy and a travesty that powers at be saw him as a threat and didn’t allow him to continue his dream of a powerful, industrialized, civilized, and friendly Iran!
"amazing foresight...ability to analyze" bro he was completely out of touch with his people he thought the rioters outside his palace were communists lmfao
I totally agree!Always they used to ask him why he strenthens the army and later Iraq attacked Iran and without those weapons it would not be possible for Iranians to fight and many other thing.He was truely many years ahead. With him on power amyn disasters would not happened alse by Islamists and ....
He was TOO good for his time. Those people didn't deserve him. They didn't understand him. He was not only ahead those people but also of his time. God bless his soul. I deeply respect him.
His issues were: he tried to modernize the industry too soon creating famine and inflation while he was having lavish party at the palace. Also Shooting protesters was a huge mistake and also publishing the letter trashing Khomeini. I agree that he really wanted to make Iran a powerful nation.
Read between the lines of the interview. You , and the interviewer have a curtain over your eyes. Read between the lines, he was removed, but not by the people. Although the people had a role to play.
That is why he got deposed by US/UK. For them it was much better to have an illeterate tyrannical Molla in power in Theran, than a King who wanted a modern progressive strong Iran .
@diako You are wrong. Illiterate Bigot Khomeini was just a PUPPET of US /UK to undermine Shah. His vile propanganda of fabricated LIES infected - brainwashed guillble Iranians. Now West is paying heavy price for own Stupidity. Marg bar Jomurieh Eslami---Javid Shahanshah Aryamehr !! The Light of Aryans will Liberate Iran Again
@diako Go Read "the West Role in the Overthrow of the Shah" ( www.meforum.org/7251/the-west-role-in-the-shah-overthrow) / Also read James Perloff's "Iran and the Shah " What Really Happened" . Everything Else is Just Islamic Propaganda or LIES.
He was the symbol of iran's long lasting cultural, social and historical glorification to inspire the principle of establising a vision of human rights, philosophy of national civilty, enlighten the concept of an intellectually political/social institution, leading the structural belief in turning iranian people becoming civilized and modernized the trading economic industry across the business sectors, educational development and a major national wealth prosperity in the most essential time of transforming iran on the highest stage of global scale🌹🌹💫🙏 he was our legend of nationalism
@@captaineagle1563 who ever ruined our country , it is undoubtedly their international responsibility to help people of Iran to fix it asap!!! The future of the whole world depends on it. HELP US HELP YOU!!!!
Title has no significance unless the person holding it has the capacity and the competence of having it. The Shah of Iran was not tough enough to stand his grounds and defend his land against a turbaned, illiterate Mullah (Khomeini) and his corrupt, murderous followers who are holding power in Iran right now! He chickened out!
If you are a puppet might as well be a good. He started kicking and accusing the west. He was hurt when they overthrew him. He was a mean spirited person
I am closely and attentively watching this and other period presentations interviewing Shah Pahlavi . All of them are very revealing and enlightening for me . I am also watching recent and current presentations on urban and rural society in Iran 🇮🇷 . Some years ago I had a Farsi book , was studying , then lost the book on a move to northern Indiana .
The next generations after the generation that turned their backs on him, love the Shah so much, we almost tear up every time we see a picture or an interview of him. He feels like a father to all of us. Even though we weren't born when he was still alive. Even Gen Z and the newer generations appreciate the Shah and his father and what those remarkable patriotic people did for Iran and especially Iranian women. Most Iranians are fighting the Pahlavis' name in the streets in protests and we're fighting to get his son, HRH Reza Pahlavi in power. If there's one thing no one doubts when speaking about the Pahlavis, is they're patriotic and genuinely good people.
@@daughterofCyrustheGreat you give me hope as someone who was estranged from iran at a young age. the amount of mixed comments i see here really bothers me. people dont understand who they are choosing the hate, when demons like khomeini exist. yes we could hold him accountable for the corrupt things he DID do as a king, but there is no way you can cast that man aside, he was a great leader with a bright vision for the future. i WISH i could have lived in that period of iran, i love listening to my mom tell me about her memories of pre revolution iran edit: not to mention, the entire reason why we made it through immigration and into a better country was because of the direct goodwill of the Pahlavi family. trying to get to the west as an iranian refugee is near impossible.
@@xyouthe At least 40% of the country love the Shah now. If we count 30% as neutral, the others left are regime defenders because that's where their benefits are. If we put the complex feelings some people have about Shah aside, nobody likes Khomeini and Akhunds now. People curse them and this government and their shit show every day, even people that aren't Pahlavi supporters can't defend this embarrassing regime either.
Yes, and certainly the palaces throughout the UK, as well as all of the European nations, all were built at different times and by different branches of the royals and aristocracy. It’s certainly not at all unusual in an ancient culture.
Congrats. Your father was part of a criminal regime! I hope you don’t think Irans politics fits into the binary or Shah Vs Islamic Republic. It’s time to realize both were bad for the Iranian people and find the right way FORWARD.
@@IrfanKhan-dt7ckYoure not any better than anyone you’re looking down upon, trust me we think of you of the absolute joke of a ‘man,’ you could be 213cm and you’d still be tinier than a child, who are certainly more admirable and respectable than you. They even write better than you. As did this commentator. Your intelligence shows your shortcomings as a human being, and I doubt you’ll even catch what I just said. Humble yourself. I pity you, it’s such pathetic behaviour it pains me to think about what you must be like to put up with and be in the same room even if you don’t say a single word. You make the world around you miserable. You benefit nobody. You’re selfish and narcissistic to a point of delusions of grandeur. I can’t imagine how miserable and hateful you feel inside, I can’t imagine how painful that must be , cognizant if it or not, and how much you spread that pain to anyone around you . Though I doubt you care. You are worse than a cockroach , which I know is how you see other people, but you only see that in others because you see that in yourself . The Shah would never associate with you, he’d be disgusted.
@Werm 01 Khomeini was granted exile in France and descended from an Air France plane holding the hand of the pilot. The Shah was not accepted anywhere except in Egypt. That tells you quite clearly which one of the two Western countries wanted in power.
@@HalfLife-hq8eu No Shah was not very pro west, he was trying to emulate the west, to create the advancement of Iran. Shah was raising the price of oil to fund the advancement of Iran. He was a very stabilizing force in the region, and the West has been working very hard to destabilize that entire region to keep the flow of cheap oil to the world.
This guy was spending Billions buying weapons from the west similar to what Saudi Arabia is doing today. Modern-day Iran has built its own military capability and capacity. They built their own rockets and missiles...Their own drones! Their own Nuclear program! No country in the middle east has ballistic missile capability like Iran. They did all this by themselves...Without any help from the west. Say what you want about the Mullahs but you cannot deny that they have made Iran rely on itself.
@@Khaled91 this is not as good of thing as you think, globalisation is a much more efficient system excluding yourself from this system and forced self reliance hinders your country on the world stage
That’s debatable. I don’t think the region fell apart because of him falling. US Soviet proxy wars, Israeli-Arab conflict, Lebanon civil war. There was a lot happening. While Shah is well spoken, I read he was corrupt and caused a lot of harm, hence his overthrow.
@@wp1925so you think the Mullas and the Islamic republic were better? What a dumb observation. The Shah was far less corrupt than 95% of the leaders today. Educate yourself.
@@wp1925and when these wars and conflicts began? After shahs fall Like the time Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1980 one year after he was overthrown by the revolution
He was a legend. The middle east was much more stable and Iran was on its way to becoming a middle power. He gave my country (Pakistan) free oil for our pilots during the 65 war. Its incredibly depressing knowing how great he was making Iran before he was betrayed.
He was never king of kings he's father was just an ordinary military officer he's father made a military coup and removed the qajar dynasty ahmed shah and declared himself a king no royal blood in him
Cyan Blue bitch who’s pathetic I mean nobody except you, we have respect for ourselves so that’s why nobody replied to your irrelevant comment, I am just here to shut you down, these are just people who want the best for their country, countrymen and themselves you are such a DUMB FUCK that all the religious people in government are DENOUNCING THE GOVERNMENT get you head out your ass and look around at the current situation then make the judgement of when Iran was worse, imperial Iran WHERE ONE PERSON COULD WORK AND SUPPORT A FAMILY OF 8+ or now there ALL MEMBERS OF ONE FAMILY MUST WORK JUST TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES.GET OUT OF THE CLOUDS AND YOUR FANTASY WORLD THIS REGIME IS CRUMBING BEFORE Seyed Ali’s MURDEROUS EYES. Also why in fucks name is your username Cyan Blue and your profile picture is a PINK flower *oskol* 😂🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Iran is never gone with the wind. We have been there from thousands of years ago, and will be there for thousands more. Iran will change form. But the Persians will remain do forever. Jealousy is a bad thing
Just like his son. This is a completely normal procedure for Iranian pahlavi king to be groomed in politics and economics and military strategies and so many other fields. Our Reza Pahlavi has been learning all these since he was a kid. He's naturally even better than his predecessors
You must be kidding. If he was a good leader, he led himself and his nation to their demise. Glad he is gone for good, and dont wish Iran such a weak leader.
@@samsemssar1136 This is not about comparison of two regimes, your original comment is about a person which is factually incorrect, he was neither honorable nor a competent leader. He for years denied the existence of a police state in Iran with SAVAK and the involvement of CIA and Mossad in their training and the sheer number of political prisoners that he kept. From a leadership point of view, he was the West puppet, and simply listened to them on most important issues.
@@armanGT800 What SAVAK was doing with Islamist terrorists was the best and noblest possible action. God bless Savak. Pahlavi brought independence, prosperity and dignity to Iran, but he left Iran because of the sinister alliance of Islamists and leftists, which was of course his biggest mistake. He should kill the armed rebels of the Red and Black Alliance and hand over the rest to SAVAK so that Iran can be saved.
@@blackflag6976 during his time and saddam time if they weren't killed they were be tension up a lot of time but overall the middle east will stay in a cold war status and will never develop into the current deadly state plus you will say saddam might attack Iran even if the Shah was alive No he will not the only reason saddam attack Iran back then because he thought Iran will be weak and Khomeini will not be able to fight back against him So if the Shah was alive and saddam There will be a lot more stability and peace in middle east
@@aboodbb8774 As long as Israel exists, there will be no peace in the middle east. The Shah maybe better than Khomeini but he was still a dictator. The less privileged people disliked him and surely there would be a revolution to get rid of him along with the Arab Spring.
@@ArminGamer He was a dictator backed by the US after overthrowing a democratically elected president. He was also a close friend of Saudi. No point denying it, it's a fact.
Yes, what an absolute legend. The Shah was so ahead of his time intellectually and ideologically. He made this smug British reporter look like a blundering idiot.
Absolutely love this man!! He knew what he was doing and was doing it pretty well. A big admirer of shah from Pakistan. I wish he could stay in power a bit longer.
The interviewer did not understand. Or pretended not to understand. He said strong countries are bullying weaker countries. The interviewer referred to ussr. But pahlavi did not mean ussr. Ops.
Who we missed !!! A true leader and shah who loved his people and his country. If he had had ruled the country , Iran now would have been a paradise for his People and the world. What a big pity we lost him!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
As a chinese. I dont understand why you people againest him before. How greatful person he is. Why you guys choose islamsim and abandon him? You losed the chance to become a superpower country now. And i so pity for that.
The most amazing, intelligent and benevolent Shah. We will invoke your great name and the Pahlavi Dynasty to free Iran from these barbaric occupiers. Your path and your vision is the only one for Iran.
Bring back Mossadegh. God Bless Reza Shah but he was more of a US puppet than an actual Iranian. His Father was strong and had a strongman attitude but Reza worked with the British to have 51% of the oil profits going to them...
@@serz1885 A party to celebrate 2500 years of Monarchy while the country was growing at 7% ? I can buy it. In America they spent more to celebrate the 200 years of independence some years latter.
@@hnys7976 Mossadeq wanted to nationalize the iranian oil. Yes that's right. But for which price? The technologie of the oil Pumpjacks was from the britains, the iranians at this time didn't had an idea how they could handle with this. The economy was going to shut down, and that's for what? For Mossadeq's stubbornness? He was very popular in the society, but his political knowledge was catastrophic. Iran and it's economy wasn't ready to cut of the reltions with the britains. Mossadeq shot with his aimless plans an owngoal. This things, you are writing about him, are the typicle Marks of the communist propaganda, which the opposition of the Shah was publishing about him in the 70s.
@Shams I really don't know were you have your sourcess from, but the Shah was reforming and moderizing the country. Didn't you watch this interview? He explained here his plans. Tehran was one of the top 10 modern city's at his decade. His mistakes where other things, which you sadly didn't explain here. The Shah was trying to reform the country in a very fast way. Which causes that the difference between the social classes increased. People from the villages weren't supported enough, but he had the support of them in his planes, too (look at the docum.). Yes he was a kind of an dictator, whos sectret police imprioned people from the opposition sides, but your are not understanding, which kind of pressure was on him. You must watch to the circumstances. There were the mullahs, communists and the britiains, who were finally supported by the US. All these groups had the aim to destroy the country. So what would you do, when you are at the power. It also was in the 70s, so democracy how you know it today, didn't really exist whole over the world (cold war). His action against them was inevitable. He had the same option with his millitary resources to destroy the protests 1979(watch "iranian airforce 1970"), but he decited to leave, (not like Assad today for example). In his memorys he said that he wasn't able to kill this young protesting people.
What a high-caliber, insightful, patriot and brilliant leader. The glory, progress and respect that you brought for Iran and Iranians will be never ever forgotten despite the will of incurable islamists and leftists. Beyond all shadows of doubt your memory will outshine your adversaries and the history is in benefit of you. Sleep well! we are alert.
@@zahramokhtar6727 ... Jimmy Carter was a puppet, who took his orders from Zbigniew Brzezinsky, who was hired out of Harvard by David Rockefeller and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Carter's Secretary of State was Cyrus Vance, who was also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Brzezinsky was to the Democrats what Kissinger was to the Republicans. Both men worked for David Rockefeller and the CFR, which represents British banking interests in America. The Shah was removed from power by the Council on Foreign Relations, which had 3 major players in Carter's administration: 1. Secretary of State (Vance) 2. National Security Advisor (Brzezinsky) 3. And President Carter himself, who was also a member of the Trilateral Commission, which was a globalist outfit started by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinsky. In the end, the Shah's own "friend," i.e., David Rockefeller, betrayed the Shah. That globalist devil, David Rockefeller, represented western banking and oil interests.
The Shah is a legend. How is that possible to be this accurate about the world? He was right on point answering questions. His wisdom is unbelievable. He was surely ahead of his time and ahead of his countrymen of the time who apparently could not understand his superbly accurate vision. No wonder that Iranian new generations now chant slogans in favor of the Shah and his son Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi these days in the streets of Iran.
A figurehead who was trying to talk out against the west. Truly wanting Iran to be self sufficient. Not a western puppet state. Still. He was a figurehead. Who was intellectually ahead of his time.
@B Hook what geo-political facts? He was used by the west, and they didn’t help him escape to the US or other western countries in the end of his reign...lol
He was a brilliant man, ingenious thinker and way ahead of his time. I grew up in Iran during his reign. Iran was very safe, beautiful and advanced in every way in complete contrast to what it is today.
What a gem this man was. I can only think of Lee Kuan Yew (leader of Singapore at the same time) to be at Shah's level. Most Iranians did not deserve him or his government, and now Iranians are paying for their unforgivable mistake of revoluting again this benevolent and patriotic man.
king of Iran, One of the most intelligent leaders of the 20th century. He was the kind and strong father of Iran. He was the balance in the Middle East. As an Iranian, I am really proud of him. Long live Pahlavi kingdom.
He said in another interview that the silent majority remained silent. Two options were left after the quite evident colour revolution that overthrew him: Communists or the Mullahs. Communism was nothing of an option so the West picked Khomeini.
Your people did not “ make a choice”. It was during the Cold War, Iran had a tendency towards communism and RIP shah once stated. “ the power of blue eyed in Iran is over, so result. American British and the French send a religious/ Khomeini R. I Hell, to Iran
@iranian pride YOU SEE NOW EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID 45 YEARS AGO .Russia invading on Ukraine . Europe and USA suffering disease's like modern soviet system under Putin arrangement which at least doubled price bubble in all west . within allies in Asia ,south America and middle east . the king understood much much earlier and told it clearly but blind eyes and empty heads chosen to deal with soviets for a short time . now west is too weak . shah did know very well about history and even told whenever west try to weaken Mideast wall like Iran then east find a opportunity to enter in . and we see it today obviously
@@sebaraghi4576 maybe in Iran, but in the rest of the world history already speaks volumes about how amazing this man was. God bless Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi the last great leader of Iran.
He was anything but patriot he may want to be but by not realizing the different between mythological and genuine patriotism. Simply fantasizing about a state under one man leadership wich he was the messiah
JAVID SHAH - As an iranian journalist and tv maker, i know exactly what we iranians have lost on him! 1979 was a mixture of religious hysteria and britisch manipulation. what radio bbc persian did to the shah was unbelievable. i was there and i remember! shah has been framed by the media very badly
شاه هم مهره ای بیش نبود ! هر مهره ای تاریخ مصرف داره اگر شاه صحیح مهره چینی میکرد در ارتش و گارد جاویدان که سره بزنگا کودتا کنن قطعا کشور دسته ملاها نمی افتاد ! هر چی کشیدیم از پهلوی ها کشیدیم ! کیش و مات شد توسط جهودهای آنوسی
I love you the great King. You did what no leader can do with his nation and your son Prince Raza Pahlavi will follow your footsteps whenever he will get this opportunity and I pray to Almighty God to give him this opportunity to serve the Iran and Iranians.
Mr. Ali Morteza! sorry to say to mind your language. I have been in Teheran for more than fifteen years including last four years of British Agent Khomeini rule of Iranians bloodshed and ruining of Iran. SAVAK was acting only against communist who want to make Iran a communist country.
@@sarwaralamzaidi3063 First SAVAK was not only acting against the Communist parties, but also it was acting against the common people , the local men and women , their victims are still there to show their scars, SAVAK was trained by MOSSAD, go and study something about SAVAK, and meet those people who had been tortured by SAVAK.
The Shah really was a thoughtful and charismatic man, his words seem oddly prescient right now. I remember the revolution and being horrified by what ensued.. Unbelievably his son Reza is now within touching distance of leading Iran , to act as a transitional leader, maybe beyond.. I do hope he succeeds
The Shah was much too frank with the western media - he really ought to have held his cards closer to the chest. Worse still, he was far too forthright about his plans with regard to Iran’s oil- as if Iran’s natural resources somehow belonged to Iran...
The late Shah of Iran should never have revealed his true intentions, and more importantly he should never have given audience to this lot. His majesty will be missed.
This guy was spending Billions buying weapons from the west similar to what Saudi Arabia is doing today. Modern-day Iran has built its own military capability and capacity. They built their own rockets and missiles...Their own drones! Their own Nuclear program! No country in the middle east has ballistic missile capability like Iran. Say what you want about the Mullahs but you cannot deny that they have made Iran rely on itself.
@@Khaled91, and who made it possible for them? Without pahlavi the theocratic regime wouldn't be able to progress further. The tools and resources were already there thanks to pahlavi. Addendum, the opposition to the current regime is not about whether or not iran should be self reliant? It is about the mass executions and unfair elections or rather rigged elections in addition persecution and assasination attempts (and assasinations) of political dissidents and harrassments of iranian critics.
Once while I was living in Iran, one of my Iranian fiend who was importer and trader visited the international exhibition held in Teheran and when he came back he said, What a big lie. This machine I have brought some times before from Italy where it manufactured and now I have seen written on the machine Made in Iran. Did you understand what Isaid. Sarwar Alam Zaidi
yes, Iran has a FEW huge deserts.. (source of sand.. think: glass, semiconductors, transisters, ipads, etc) but also, underneath sand, which USED TO BE SEA, is WATER... lots and lots of water!!, and underneath that, untapped oil reserves.. but Iran is a huge country compared to Europe.. and has provinces as large as England, that are covered with lush forests, that probably get more rain too.... 4 mountain ranges, (mountains are future MINES) which almost encircle the entire county... 1500 km stretch of coastal land to the west and south, and about a 800 km along the sea in the north.. incidentally, “deserts” are some of the most PRECIOUS land formations.. usually registered as world heritage sites by UNESCO.. and highly protected, including the ones in Iran... (not that im endorsing UNESCO or the UN, the evil satanists, just pointing out the value of deserts) no wonder everyone wants it..
Khem Parsram with the respect to you I have to say ‘my friend your judgment about iran is not true iran is not Saudi Arabia and the other world my people don’t give shit to whom that they thinks are better than us because of their blue eyes and their identity as a western people every body has to know the first declarations of human-right issued by Cyrus the great so what they think or feel about my king and my country I don’t give shit
That is not true Khem not that your people are better or worse it's just your country sits on some of the most valuable land on the Earth in the middle of the most volatile Area and the West know the riches in the ground are there it's not the people it's what you live on they want....
@@pesarepars7435 ... I apologize, I will remove my comment. I thought you meant that the Shah was the soldier of the British. You can EDIT your comment and write: "Yes..... You are the king of kings. And I am your soldier."
Glory to the king of great persia I'm from Afghanistan, imagine my father was working in Iran with an Italian carpenter when he was very young he said people of Iran were rich and were living life to its fullest under his kingdom
Amazing man, only time will tell and it has already done that. This man was a visionary and a patriot who loved his country. He was betrayed by many western allies.
It is a shame and so unfortunate as to how the Iranians and the world were deceived and fell into the trap of the US lies and propaganda resulting to oust the Pahlavis in the late 1970's. It is now a fact that the Pahlavis brought political stability in the region, modernized and brought about prosperity and did great deeds to the Iranian people, Iran and the world as a whole. Looking forward to Reza Pahlavi to lead the future of Iran into economic prosperity, social freedom and peace in the region and make Iran great again. Jaavid Reza Shah II.
@john smith ... You ignorant imbecile, you dont know SHIITE about Iran, the Shah, the revolution, nothing, other than the garbage you've been spoonfed by leftists schooling in whatever hellhole you're from. STFU about Iran! I'm not about to waste any time educating your dumb ass, other than to say: EVERY SINGLE revolution in human history, going back to the French Revolution, has been managed and manipulated (and financed) by outside forces. The same people (Anglo/American establishment = Judeo/Masonic "elite"), who put Saddam Hussein in power, removed him. The same people who put Reza Shah in power in 1921, removed him in 1941. The same people who put Ngo Dinh Diem in power (in Vietnam), removed him. The same people who put Qaddafii in power, removed him. The same people who put Batista in power, removed him. The same people who put the Shah in power, removed him. AND YES, the same people who put Adolf Hitler in power in 1933, removed him in 1945... and on and on and on....(How do you think the Weimar Republic was able to go from being 'the sick child of Europe' in the 1920s to the supremely mighty military power of the 1930s? How was such a miracle possible in such a short time? Where did the Nazis get the financing and why -- Hitler was a known commodity in 1933. His hateful "Mein Kampf" was published in 1925!) Do NOT fall for the tricks of the central bankers (the true rulers in the west going back to 1694, the Judeo/Masonic "elite"). Indeed, the Hegelian Dialectic is alive and well to this day. The 20th Century was the ultimate venue in dirty great game politics. There is so many layers and wrinkles other than "the people" when it comes to the 1979 "Islamic" revolution, that it would take me hours to do it justice. Go away, you're in kindergarten vis-a-vis this subject and I'm not willing to invest anymore time to take you all the way to your high school graduation.
Ramin, he's either clueless as you suggest, or just a shill working for US/UK, trying to lift the burden of crimes of those states from their shoulders and put them on the shoulders of the shah and Iranians. These states have always conspired against most of the world and especally Iran, and still are, and will continue to do so. They will remain successful (followed by sexual orgies after each mega-success) until we stop rewarding their hostility towards us with smiles, kindness, and love. And the tool to keep us smiling and loving is of course, beside hollywood and other entertainment, through the dollar-funded and pound-funded "persian" tv stations like bbc, voa, manoto tv, etc etc.
@@SuperMan-vd5fn ... well put, specially the last sentence about the BBC, etc., lest we forget mullah Khomeini was known as "Ayatollah BBC" in 1978-1979. The mad mullah was MADE by the British through the BBC.
I was born in the early nineties, on U.S soil. Both parents from Iran. It is now 2021 and I'm watching these videos thinking how the hell did Iran let this man go? So glad I was born in the U.S and not in Iran during the sham Islamic Republic. I cannot believe they let this brilliant, intelligent, charming man go. For what? So they can be bombarded by Arabs for the following 8 years, and have all their rights stripped away? What was the worse thing Shah did? Have a secret police? Big deal. Every country spies on its citizens via internet now.
Rest and Peace Padeshahe Khooban that Iranian People did not DESERVE to have you. When You left ,IRAN is gone, MIDDLE EAST has GONE TOO,the entire world is Unsafe.
Love King of Iran, King of heart ❤️ many betrayed you and unappreciated you. Many many Iranian regret it now deeply day and night. Young generation that never had the chance to experience your era, blame their adults, Britain and USA.
What an absolutely brilliant man with an amazing foresight and the ability to analyze world issues 40 years ahead of his time! One can look at this interview today as though the interview was conducted yesterday and not 44 years ago, because every single issue he brought up is as relevant today as he authored them 44years ago! It wasn’t just Iran who lost an incredible leader and a father of a nation but the entire world missed his leadership and foresight! Just look at what happened to Middle East, Europe, and the rest of the world soon after he was betrayed by his ungrateful people, and his so called “friends” in World leaders!
A truly a remarkable man for ages who loved his country, it’s people, and not only wanted the best for Iran but also the rest of the world! It is a tragedy and a travesty that powers at be saw him as a threat and didn’t allow him to continue his dream of a powerful, industrialized, civilized, and friendly Iran!
We dont want western puppet
"amazing foresight...ability to analyze" bro he was completely out of touch with his people he thought the rioters outside his palace were communists lmfao

Stupendous interview . The Shah's answers are delightful to hear . Iran would have been a great country if he were still in power .
Well said❤
He was TOO good for his time.
Those people didn't deserve him. They didn't understand him. He was not only ahead those people but also of his time.
God bless his soul. I deeply respect him.
I agree with you 💯 percent.
His issues were: he tried to modernize the industry too soon creating famine and inflation while he was having lavish party at the palace. Also Shooting protesters was a huge mistake and also publishing the letter trashing Khomeini. I agree that he really wanted to make Iran a powerful nation.
They are Muslims , that’s the way they are , they like to live In the Stone Age and believe their fairy tales that Quran tells them .
He was too good for corrupt people 😂that’s why he got kicked out permanently
Read between the lines of the interview. You , and the interviewer have a curtain over your eyes. Read between the lines, he was removed, but not by the people. Although the people had a role to play.
What an intelligent, thoughtful, reflective and deliberate thinker the Shah was..
John Lincoln If he was all that you say he was , he wouldn’t be sitting with a scavenger of a journalist answering his questions.
That is why he got deposed by US/UK. For them it was much better to have an illeterate tyrannical Molla in power in Theran, than a King who wanted a modern progressive strong Iran .

I am closely and attentively watching this and other period presentations interviewing Shah Pahlavi . All of them are very revealing and enlightening for me . I am also watching recent and current presentations on urban and rural society in Iran 🇮🇷 .
Some years ago I had a Farsi book , was studying , then lost the book on a move to northern Indiana .
I am not Iranian and I think he was one of the best and greatest leader that a country could wish for and the idiots could not see that
The next generations after the generation that turned their backs on him, love the Shah so much, we almost tear up every time we see a picture or an interview of him. He feels like a father to all of us. Even though we weren't born when he was still alive. Even Gen Z and the newer generations appreciate the Shah and his father and what those remarkable patriotic people did for Iran and especially Iranian women. Most Iranians are fighting the Pahlavis' name in the streets in protests and we're fighting to get his son, HRH Reza Pahlavi in power. If there's one thing no one doubts when speaking about the Pahlavis, is they're patriotic and genuinely good people.
Totally agree!
That's exactly what it was and still is
@@daughterofCyrustheGreat you give me hope as someone who was estranged from iran at a young age. the amount of mixed comments i see here really bothers me. people dont understand who they are choosing the hate, when demons like khomeini exist. yes we could hold him accountable for the corrupt things he DID do as a king, but there is no way you can cast that man aside, he was a great leader with a bright vision for the future. i WISH i could have lived in that period of iran, i love listening to my mom tell me about her memories of pre revolution iran
edit: not to mention, the entire reason why we made it through immigration and into a better country was because of the direct goodwill of the Pahlavi family. trying to get to the west as an iranian refugee is near impossible.
@@xyouthe At least 40% of the country love the Shah now. If we count 30% as neutral, the others left are regime defenders because that's where their benefits are.
If we put the complex feelings some people have about Shah aside, nobody likes Khomeini and Akhunds now. People curse them and this government and their shit show every day, even people that aren't Pahlavi supporters can't defend this embarrassing regime either.
The 7 palaces the reporter is referring are the palaces that were built by different dynasties in Iran, not by the Shah of Iran.
Yes, and certainly the palaces throughout the UK, as well as all of the European nations, all were built at different times and by different branches of the royals and aristocracy. It’s certainly not at all unusual in an ancient culture.
Extremely intelligent. Extremely honest. Unfortunately the world does not accept this reality as a government. Only as an idea
Honest? He was a USA puppet that's why the resistance overthrown him

The shah was pro west, and the west was very much pro shah.
@@HalfLife-hq8eu No Shah was not very pro west, he was trying to emulate the west, to create the advancement of Iran. Shah was raising the price of oil to fund the advancement of Iran.

@@hnys7976 Mossadeq wanted to nationalize the iranian oil. Yes that's right. But for which price? The technologie of the oil Pumpjacks was from the britains, the iranians at this time didn't had an idea how they could handle with this. The economy was going to shut down, and that's for what? For Mossadeq's stubbornness? He was very popular in the society, but his political knowledge was
catastrophic. Iran and it's economy wasn't ready to cut of the reltions with the britains. Mossadeq shot with his aimless plans an owngoal. This things, you are writing about him, are the typicle Marks of the communist propaganda, which the opposition of the Shah was publishing about him in the 70s.
@Shams I really don't know were you have your sourcess from, but the Shah was reforming and moderizing the country. Didn't you watch this interview? He explained here his plans. Tehran was one of the top 10 modern city's at his decade.
His mistakes where other things, which you sadly didn't explain here. The Shah was trying to reform the country in a very fast way. Which causes that the difference between the social classes increased. People from the villages weren't supported enough, but he had the support of them in his planes, too (look at the docum.).
Yes he was a kind of an dictator, whos sectret police imprioned people from the opposition sides, but your are not understanding, which kind of pressure was on him. You must watch to the circumstances. There were the mullahs, communists and the britiains, who were finally supported by the US. All these groups had the aim to destroy the country. So what would you do, when you are at the power. It also was in the 70s, so democracy how you know it today, didn't really exist whole over the world (cold war). His action against them was
inevitable. He had the same option with his millitary resources to destroy the protests 1979(watch "iranian airforce 1970"), but he decited to leave, (not like Assad today for example). In his memorys he said that he wasn't able to kill this young protesting people.
What a high-caliber, insightful, patriot and brilliant leader. The glory, progress and respect that you brought for Iran and Iranians will be never ever forgotten despite the will of incurable islamists and leftists. Beyond all shadows of doubt your memory will outshine your adversaries and the history is in benefit of you. Sleep well! we are alert.
How much power did Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi give to Amir-Abbas Hoveyda to Exercise? Did Hoveyda play more of a symbolic role?
But when Shah felt the heat in 1977, he dismissed Hoveyda on Aug. 7, 1977 & blamed all of Iran's problems on Hoveyda.
Shah's demise was Iran's demise & our demise. Do you blame Shah for anything, or do you blame all of it on Jimmy Carter & his speech?
@@zahramokhtar6727 ... Jimmy Carter was a puppet, who took his orders from Zbigniew Brzezinsky, who was hired out of Harvard by David Rockefeller and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
Carter's Secretary of State was Cyrus Vance, who was also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Brzezinsky was to the Democrats what Kissinger was to the Republicans. Both men worked for David Rockefeller and the CFR, which represents British banking interests in America. The Shah was removed from power by the Council on Foreign Relations, which had 3 major players in Carter's administration:
1. Secretary of State (Vance)
2. National Security Advisor (Brzezinsky)
3. And President Carter himself, who was also a member of the Trilateral Commission, which was a globalist outfit started by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinsky.
In the end, the Shah's own "friend," i.e., David Rockefeller, betrayed the Shah. That globalist devil, David Rockefeller, represented western banking and oil interests.

The Shah really was a thoughtful and charismatic man, his words seem oddly prescient right now. I remember the revolution and being horrified by what ensued..

but Iran is a huge country compared to Europe.. and has provinces as large as England, that are covered with lush forests, that probably get more rain too....
4 mountain ranges, (mountains are future MINES) which almost encircle the entire county... 1500 km stretch of coastal land to the west and south, and about a 800 km along the sea in the north..
incidentally, “deserts” are some of the most PRECIOUS land formations.. usually registered as world heritage sites by UNESCO.. and highly protected, including the ones in Iran... (not that im endorsing UNESCO or the UN, the evil satanists, just pointing out the value of deserts)
no wonder everyone wants it..
Khem Parsram desert regions? SURELY YOUVE NEVER BEEN TO IRAN🤦🏼♀️😂😂😂😂
We put him in power what are you talking about ??
Khem Parsram with the respect to you I have to say ‘my friend your judgment about iran is not true iran is not Saudi Arabia and the other world my people don’t give shit to whom that they thinks are better than us because of their blue eyes and their identity as a western people every body has to know the first declarations of human-right issued by Cyrus the great so what they think or feel about my king and my country I don’t give shit
That is not true Khem not that your people are better or worse it's just your country sits on some of the most valuable land on the Earth in the middle of the most volatile
Area and the West know the riches in the ground are there it's not the people it's what you live on they want....
Yea...... you are king of the kings. 😍😎. We love you forever.
@@rayparsa3069 sorry to have said something wrong. I mean i am the soldier if the shahanshah. He was our king. I have to correct my comment.
@@pesarepars7435 ... I apologize, I will remove my comment. I thought you meant that the Shah was the soldier of the British.
You can EDIT your comment and write:
"Yes..... You are the king of kings. And I am your soldier."
This is the possible interview that got him overthrown
The shah speak impeccable English. This was a good man
he spoke many languages
@@SeanKosari yes.
Is speaking English now a indicator of being a "good man"? Lol
I wish Americans spoke English as well as he does. Or as Americans would put it: He talks American good.
Ain lmao apparently to these naive dipshits
I love this man. RIP peace our Shah ♥️
I love him like my own father. JAVID SHAH!
He will forever be my king (شاه)
Man he was right on then and you can see it today how the west treating others
Glory to the king of great persia I'm from Afghanistan, imagine my father was working in Iran with an Italian carpenter when he was very young he said people of Iran were rich and were living life to its fullest under his kingdom
One of the greatest rulers of 20th century, as soon as he was removed world went into chaos.
Imagine how we iranians feel now
Amazing man, only time will tell and it has already done that. This man was a visionary and a patriot who loved his country. He was betrayed by many western allies.
It is a shame and so unfortunate as to how the Iranians and the world were deceived and fell into the trap of the US lies and propaganda resulting to oust the Pahlavis in the late 1970's. It is now a fact that the Pahlavis brought political stability in the region, modernized and brought about prosperity and did great deeds to the Iranian people, Iran and the world as a whole. Looking forward to Reza Pahlavi to lead the future of Iran into economic prosperity, social freedom and peace in the region and make Iran great again. Jaavid Reza Shah II.
Ayatullah Kashani didn't help ;)
Beautifully put!
@john smith ... You ignorant imbecile, you dont know SHIITE about Iran, the Shah, the revolution, nothing, other than the garbage you've been spoonfed by leftists schooling in whatever hellhole you're from.
STFU about Iran! I'm not about to waste any time educating your dumb ass, other than to say:
EVERY SINGLE revolution in human history, going back to the French Revolution, has been managed and manipulated (and financed) by outside forces.
The same people (Anglo/American establishment = Judeo/Masonic "elite"), who put Saddam Hussein in power, removed him. The same people who put Reza Shah in power in 1921, removed him in 1941. The same people who put Ngo Dinh Diem in power (in Vietnam), removed him. The same people who put Qaddafii in power, removed him. The same people who put Batista in power, removed him. The same people who put the Shah in power, removed him. AND YES, the same people who put Adolf Hitler in power in 1933, removed him in 1945... and on and on and on....(How do you think the Weimar Republic was able to go from being 'the sick child of Europe' in the 1920s to the supremely mighty military power of the 1930s? How was such a miracle possible in such a short time? Where did the Nazis get the financing and why -- Hitler was a known commodity in 1933. His hateful "Mein Kampf" was published in 1925!)
Do NOT fall for the tricks of the central bankers (the true rulers in the west going back to 1694, the Judeo/Masonic "elite"). Indeed, the Hegelian Dialectic is alive and well to this day.
The 20th Century was the ultimate venue in dirty great game politics. There is so many layers and wrinkles other than "the people" when it comes to the 1979 "Islamic" revolution, that it would take me hours to do it justice.
Go away, you're in kindergarten vis-a-vis this subject and I'm not willing to invest anymore time to take you all the way to your high school graduation.
Ramin, he's either clueless as you suggest, or just a shill working for US/UK, trying to lift the burden of crimes of those states from their shoulders and put them on the shoulders of the shah and Iranians. These states have always conspired against most of the world and especally Iran, and still are, and will continue to do so. They will remain successful (followed by sexual orgies after each mega-success) until we stop rewarding their hostility towards us with smiles, kindness, and love. And the tool to keep us smiling and loving is of course, beside hollywood and other entertainment, through the dollar-funded and pound-funded "persian" tv stations like bbc, voa, manoto tv, etc etc.
@@SuperMan-vd5fn ... well put, specially the last sentence about the BBC, etc., lest we forget mullah Khomeini was known as "Ayatollah BBC" in 1978-1979. The mad mullah was MADE by the British through the BBC.
I love you me king iran.💙💙💙javid shah.💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
He look so elegant, also the way he speak.
The interview starts here 12:39
I love this man. Iran needs the Pahlavi Dynasty
You should upload this video again!
I just love this king SHAHANSHAH. and without any doubt he was a high intelligent person, who guessed what is going to happen to the World.
He was the best mind ... So sad that he was not taken seriously 😢
He was taken seriously more than anyone else ! They just didn’t want him to keep his position because he didn’t do what they wanted him to do …
He was taken so seriously that they almost eradicated him from the planet earth
He was great in The Sopranos
He would be 102 in October 😍Salute, and RIP Sir.
Mohamed Reza 💕
@Lan Di may khomeini rot in hell for being a pig withouh honour and a traitor to his king.
A true visionary man with a good understanding of world politics
I was born in the early nineties, on U.S soil. Both parents from Iran. It is now 2021 and I'm watching these videos thinking how the hell did Iran let this man go? So glad I was born in the U.S and not in Iran during the sham Islamic Republic. I cannot believe they let this brilliant, intelligent, charming man go. For what? So they can be bombarded by Arabs for the following 8 years, and have all their rights stripped away? What was the worse thing Shah did? Have a secret police? Big deal. Every country spies on its citizens via internet now.
The west you so trust got rid of him for speaking the truth as you can see and hear and they put others in power…
America did it
"In the name of democracy..." well said.
SHAHANSHAH WE LOVE YOU FOREVER. THE BEST KING WE HAD IN 14 CENTURIES. WE WILL FOR EVER MISS THIS PURE GENTLEMAN KING OF KINGS. JAAVID SHAH.
Rest and Peace Padeshahe Khooban that Iranian People did not DESERVE to have you. When You left ,IRAN is gone, MIDDLE EAST has GONE TOO,the entire world is Unsafe.
Greatest King 👑! RIP 🙏🏻
rest in peace SHAH of the world
Look at the last two minutes... is it me or is the interviewer recording those questions to then cut and edit the interview to his likings?
Love King of Iran, King of heart ❤️ many betrayed you and unappreciated you. Many many Iranian regret it now deeply day and night. Young generation that never had the chance to experience your era, blame their adults, Britain and USA.
روحت شاد ای شهه خوبان
love when he tells the British reporter if he is sorry for the UK controlling and manipulating Iran and if he is sorry.
He was a great man, very honest and telling the truth, what Khomeini never did
