Absolutely. By being less of a delusional idealist and more of a realist. By listening to the pleas of his people when he had the chance, particularly in regards to their call for democracy. By proving to his people that he was no tyrant. By listening to his advisors instead of assuming he knows better than everyone else. The Shah *genuinely* believed he was appointed by God himself to make Iran great again-this was the root of all his mistakes.

“The country’s economy was modeled in a way where money was supposed to trickle down from the top to the bottom, but what ended up happening was wealth was bottlenecked at the top and remained in the hands of the elite. As a result, the gap between the rich and the poor was becoming very distinct.” Oh hey! That sounds familiar! 🤔

Yet another comical and incorrect statement. IQ tests where? Administered 100 years ago in Yemen and extrapolated to include Iran? Iranians have an average IQ (absurd number) of 84 based on Richard Lynn's preposterous and incorrect table ~100 years ago. Instead, look at this interesting data below from the American Census (available on Wikipedia as well): One in four Iranian-Americans holds a master's or doctoral degree, the highest rate among 67 ethnic groups studied. They have 21.5% business ownership rate. One in three Iranian American households has annual incomes of more than $100K compared to one in five for the overall U.S. population. 50 percent are in professional and managerial occupations, greater than any other group in the United States. Somehow they make a huge jump after moving to the US, especially in educational attainment and occupation. What makes it more interesting is that their first generation moved to the US during a mass immigration from Iran to the US in 1979. The same trend is true for Iranians immigrated to Australia. This is quite puzzling because for other countries, the level of success still lines up to a great extent after immigration. IQ tests in the Iranian American Diaspora show at least an average IQ of over 110. Among the highest in the world. That is simply insane. Nobody has that kind of flex (or a female winner of the Fields Medal in Mathematics either btw). Educate yourself. Being good at Math and Science like Iranians is rare. Ali Javan is generational. Maryam Mirzakhani is generational. Having a civilization with countless achievements like Iran/Persia is rare. Bottom line? Iran runs West Asia. Always has, always will. It's their region. They are the natural leaders. Israelis, Turks and Arabs need to accept it and move on.@BB-xx3dv

Not really, this anti-Khomeini narrative he has painted is not in line with what the Iranian people actually feel. They are by and large supportive of their government as can be seen in the millions that turn out every year to demonstrate for the anniversary of the revolution, and the millions who attended assassinated IRGC commander's funeral, amongst other obvious indicators. Heck, even the voter turnout during the 1979 March and December referendums that Imam Khomeini (r) held to ensure that the public really wanted and Islamic government are a feat of democracy that western so called democracies could only dream of - and confirm that this is what the Shi'a majority people of Iran want (Hikama conveniently left that out of this video to paint his narrative over the actual will of the Iranian people and portray Imam Khomeini the great Islamic scholar as a power hungry individual). I think this portrayal is either rooted in over consumption of western anti-Iranian propaganda, or with sectarian undertones. Either way, don't be fooled. This was indeed a Godly revolution, with much sacrifice of the Iranian people, that brought Islamic law back into a colonised country, and then subsequently began supporting the oppressed in Palestine and Yemen and Lebanon to wrest control of the region back from the western invaders

Yes it is, and it's actually offensive to Iranians. Look at his thumbnails for the dictator Muslim killing Saudis and compare, there's a clear sectarian or western propaganda influence here. Imam Khomeini is the leader they overwhelmingly voted for in March 1979 and December 1979 referendums. The vast majority still support their government as seen in the millions strong demonstrations on the anniversary of the revolution around the country, and the millions strong funeral of IRGC commander Qassem Soleimani more recently. Tariq just seems to think that Iranians are too stupid to understand what they want. No, they chose to bring back an Islamic Republic, and they still overwhelmingly support it. People need to get over it.

Khomeini didn't hijack anything, unfortunately most of our people at the time approved of the theocratic dictatorship he created. In March 1979, the referendum that gave people the choices of yes or no to "Islamic republic" had a turn out of 98% where almost everyone voted yes. Later in the autumn, the referendum for the constitution of the Islamic republic which added the theocratic elements and the position of supreme leader had a turn out of around 80%, many parties boycotted the referendum, including the nationalist and liberal parties, Marxists (withe exception of the Tudeh), the MEK and Kurdish parties and yet still the turn out was very high with almost all of them voting yes. I think this is the best indication that the various secularist forces were just a minority who had illusions of their popularity and thus didn't see the actual beliefs of the people.

Thanks for this video. I already knew how the last Shah did everything he could to anger everyone and then showed weakness, thus making the Revolution inevitabke, but any other source I found on this event left me wondering what exactly was Ayatollah Khomeini's role in it and how did he take over in a multilateral movement.

The islamic regime was installed by The Democrats in the US, Great Britain and France. Irans oil deal was about to expire in 1979 and what a coincidence it was right. Iran was about to become the next Japan in the 80’s and 90’s because its oil would be completely nationalized. The timing of the revolution was horrible for the Iranians. They got tricked by the islamists and the West. Shah was way better than the current regime for Iran. Just look how tragic it all ended. Iran needed Shah but the poor got tricked by the Islamists and the Western Leftist propaganda.

The monarchy was brutal against it's own people. No one wants that kind of progress. Now Iran in the post shah era, despite the brutal American sanctions aiming to deprive its people of food, medicine, and technological advancement, has used the opportunity to become independent of the west thanks to the great leadership of Imam Khomeini and Khamenei. Since the Shah's regime fell, women's education has skyrocketed, the wealth gap has reduced, the medical and technological advances are uncanny, and of course the defence sector is strong. Iran is now making friends with non-Imperialist countries and the western countries will be left behind after the BRICS is set up. On top of all this, despite the western media and sectarian propaganda, the vast majority of Iranians support their government as can be seen in the millions that turn out every year to demonstrate for the anniversary of the revolution, and the millions who attended assassinated IRGC commander's funeral, amongst other obvious indicators. Heck, even the voter turnout during the 1979 March and December referendums that Imam Khomeini (r) held to ensure that the public really wanted and Islamic government are a feat of democracy that western so called democracies could only dream of - and confirm that this is what the Shi'a majority people of Iran want (Hikama conveniently left that out of this video to paint his narrative over the actual will of the Iranian people). The recent riots are carried out with western influence on a minority of the youth, and these individuals are bloodthirsty, killing civilians and police. France and other Europeans have cracked down harder on their anti government riots that were far less violent, Iran has showed much patience in this respect.

Nice joke

the background music is Hazaragi Hazaras who live in Afghanistan

The 1979 revolution proved to be a regrettable decision, as it resulted in the loss of a thriving economy, social liberties, and progress towards a positive future. Instead of resorting to overthrowing the regime, dissatisfied individuals could have pursued avenues for change within the existing system. Under the leadership of Alahazrat Mohamad Reza Shah Pahlavi, Iran experienced significant development and prosperity, but unfortunately, his departure led to the downfall of our nation, the erosion of our freedoms, and numerous other setbacks. We loved Shah and owe him the modern Iran! After him all is lost not only in Iran but the whole Middle East! He was our true patriot

Blame the fundamentalists

The shah is a tragic figure. He understood better than most iranians ever did that you have to be a puppet when you are weak. But yor role as a puppet also allows you to seek power wirhout the danger of beeing destroyed by your puppet master. A lesson that the ruling theocraty never understood.

Whatever Shah's reign was like, the Islamic Republic regime made Shah look like a legend! Shah is nowadays revered as a benevolent ruler who genuinely cared about the well-being of ordinary Iranians, unlike the Islamic Republic regime that prioritizes reckless ideological foreign policy goals over the daily lives of millions of Iranians.

This war was provoked by NATO extreme expansionism and war mongering. Lockheed and the other arms companies were lobbying the head of NATO hard for this bloodshed. America pumped $5 billion into backing a coup to replace Ukraine's democratically elected pro-Russian government with an anti-Russia government. Ukraine violated the tenets of their 2014 Minsk agreement, and didn't even hold a meeting with the oppressed Donbas and Luhansk regions that they said they would treat better.

The poor are still poor and a dictator still is in charge.

Nobody did more to uplift Iranian society than the Shah. Thats why he was ousted. The extremist, rithless Islamist regime which ousted the Shah (on behalf of the Zio's because the Shah openly criticised on a CBS 60 min interview) has impoverished the nation and held it back with extremist Islamic laws. Khomeini got rid of Raisi in the helicopter crash because Khomeini wants his son, Mustafa, to take over, not Raisi who would've been the natural successor.

This is the true decline and fall. From king of kings 2500 years ago to a primitive theocracy at a time when the human condition enjoys unprecedented prosperity

The only problem with this video is portrayal of Mossadegh. He was very popular. When he planned to nationalize oil, British and Americans freaked out. CIA and MI6 orchestrated coup to take him out. Shah did not want this, but he was told if he didn’t cooperate the crown would go to one of his brothers. I am American, and the more I learn, the more disgusted I become by how my country interfered with other governments for self-interest.

This is an islamist channel and of course the owner of the channel doesn't like the political views of Mossadegh, hence his criticism.

You get what vote for, the Iranians were socially if not financially happy in a progressive Muslim culture. Then they put in to power a traditional Muslim dictatorship straight from the 15th Century, now they are poor and miserable.
