Around this time, Iran canceled their contracts with a dozen Western oil companies. The contracts were set to expire in 1979 unless prolonged.
Previously, Iran had a 50/50 split where the oil companies did everything from exploration to the end customer. The oil companies swayed their governments to maintain stability in Iran to protect their business interests. The business relations Westernized Iran, as shown in the photo.
By 1979, the West had pulled out. Without his foreign allies, it was easy for the Mullahs to rebel against the Shah.
The Shah blamed the West for not coming to his aid by sending the military. The Shah didn’t realize he never had any friends in the West. He was only friends with British Petroleum and Shell. They, in turn, had powerful friends in their governments.
Damn. I see these pics of Iran and some middle eastern countries in the 1970s and the people look so modern and westernised. Following the 1970s and the place looks more like sub Saharan Africa in pics.

Is it an Iranian cake being cut by an Iranian woman in Iran in 1973?
How do you know she’s Iranian?

Stone her!!
Nopes, iranians have hairy legs. That might be an iranian cake, but i highly doubt those are iranian legs.
This is why I hate the religious right. Decimated an emerging sexual revolution. Cover it up! God said!
Reminds me of my Iranian friends when I lived in Dubai.
Iran became an oppressive country after revolution. Classic example of how religion ruins a beautiful country
My how things have changed.
Jimmy Carter threw Iran under the bus when he backed the revolutionary dictator, Ayatollah Khomeini
