Royal Persia: Shah of Iran Interview on Democracy and Development (1960) | ITN Roving Report

- On this day in 1980, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, died aged 60. He had been diagnosed with lymphocytic leukemia in 1976, though remarkably this was kept from him until 1978. Dethroned and forced into exile by the Iranian Revolution some 18 months before his death, the Shah had sought refuge and medical treatment in the Bahamas, Mexico, the United States, Panama, and Morocco, before finally ending up in Egypt. There, the Shah developed an infection following an operation to remove his spleen, causing him to fall into a coma from which he did not recover. Under his Cairo hospital bed was a bag of Iranian soil.
On 22 June 1960, ITN’s Tim Brinton travelled to Iran to interview the Shah and his new Queen, Empress Farah Pahlavi (née Diba), whom the Shah had married the previous year. Prominent in Brinton’s special report as well as his interview with the Shah is the theme of security. The Shah survived an assassination attempt in 1949, Brinton recounts. And in 1953, amidst the chaos of a royalist coup d’etat against nationalist prime minister Mohammad Mossadegh organised by MI6 and the CIA, the Shah fled the country fearing for his life before returning days later following the coup’s success. Brinton references the “Mossadegh crisis” a number of times in his report. “Do you feel impelled to take any special precautions towards your personal safety?”, asks Brinton. “They want me to but I don’t know how,” replies the Shah. In fact, three years before this interview, the Shah had been assisted by the CIA in setting up SAVAK, the feared secret police apparatus that would over the years see thousands of Iranian citizens imprisoned and tortured. In the gardens of his palace, the Shah also discussed Iran's ongoing programme of economic development, speaking proudly of Iran's openness to foreign guidance and investment, and promised that Iran's upcoming elections would be as free and fair as any in the West.

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.
#RezaShahTheSecond
Quatsch.
@@nantesloire Ef off, you and your kind are the reason Iran is destroyed. Fun fact, most of the communist marxist supporters of the mullahs are in Germany so they know some German words...
King of Iran, an intelligent leader? Strong? Are you talking about Mohammed Reza Pahlavi? The "Shah" was such a pathetic and scared man, that his sister Ashraf was paid by the British to convince the Shah to sign the decree to overthrow Mosaddegh. The Shah was a little twit, don't forget who your royal majesty took his orders from. The Shah who was placed in power by the British and the CIA after overthrowing Mosaddegh in the coup of 1953 was a stooge taking orders from the US, Britain and Israel. Iran under the Shah, was not even able to keep an accounting of its sale of petroleum. The Shah could do nothing of significance in world affairs, without first asking his handlers for permission.
@@Jimmy-z6ocommon don’t publish some bullshits from MEK
Rest in the Peace my king 👑😞🙏
Your "king" was a coward put into power by the British. He fled Iran twice, once after Mosaddegh survived his attempted coup, he fled to Rome. His bosses in Britain coaxed him back to Iran. He then fled Iran in 1979. What kind of "king" flees a country when he is challenged? He was not even allowed by the British and the US to keep an accounting of the oil revenues he allowed them to steal from Iran. He was a stooge who allowed US soldiers into Iran's sovereign land. What kind of "king" allow foreigners to put him in power and to preserve his rule. He allowed the CIA and Mossad free reign to control SAVAK. Your "king" was a stooge!
This man has done his best for his fellow country men and women .In return he got a kick in the butt, now the people who betrayed him are facing the consequences of their foolishness.
درود به روح پاک اعلیحضرت محمد رضا شاه پهلوی آریامهر شاهنشاه ایران
So sad to see Iran before their revolution and after. He was a great king.
Iran still is great
It depends on what perspective you look at. At that time, Iran was secular, social freedom was religious, and the economy was better than now, because it had close relations with the outside world, especially the West, but regarding freedom of expression, at that time, freedom of expression unfortunately did not exist and was limited. but in general the situation was better than now
unfortunately, this is why all nations should have a religious or communist system, so western alliance doesn't find a way in to kill, steal and chase out greater leaders like the shah
It was a dictatorship with the secret police running rape and death squads … the CIA assassinated their elected leader and placed this self proclaimed king of kings 😂 who’s inability to run a country lead to corruption and terror which eventually led the way to the hardline Islamists to take power …
@@living_peacePlease mate 90% of us Iranians don't want this Zombie Islamic Fascism Republic and the whole world can see that....
As an Iranian, I always wonder what my country would be like if this had not happened in 1978
I wonder how your Country would have been if Prime Minister Mossadegh wasnt removed from power in 1953.
@@lkgrave4959Probably a communist state until fall of Soviets
@@lkgrave4959Mossadegh??? lmao 😂😂😂 the country would have been in ruins, kinda like today.... Mossadegh 's greatest supporters were Islamic fanatics and pro-USSR communist Tudeh party, the same party who brought mass murderer Khomeini to power.
@@lkgrave4959found the westsplainer
It happened for a reason, generally a ungrateful population. A distant administration. Foreign intervention.
Holier than thou attitude
High horse mentality
Delusions of grandeur.
Iran was a 3 rate country living in the fictitious "glory" of 2500 years ago , so it didn't understand that the past is gone and they need a new mission plan .
But since you guys don't learn you tried to "revive " the glories of yesteryear and the vast majority of the population backed that misguided daydream.
Now you reap what you sow.
FYI both Italy and Greece were super powers 2000 years ago, but they have accepted their much reduced modern day role in this new world . Iran hasn't and doesn't want to learn so it will keep repeating the same mistakes .
At 1:18, you can nearly see two statues of the Jâvedân ("Immortals") at the entrance of the Imperial Guard's barracks. Jâvedân was the elite force from the Persian Empire during the Antiquity period which always numbered 10000 members. Each dead, sick or wounded member was always replaced, which explains the so-called title of "immortal".

❤ love Shah ❤
Love Shah? You can't be serious? Are you talking about Mohammed Reza Pahlavi? He was a coward who escaped from Iran twice, once after the British and CIA's first unsuccessful coup against Mosaddegh, The "Shah" was such a pathetic and scared man, he fled to Rome and it took his sister Ashraf (who was paid by the British) to convince the Shah to sign the decree to overthrow Mosaddegh the second time in 1953. And you love Shah? You seem to have very low standards for your "Shah." No true Shah escapes from his country, ever! And no true Shah takes his orders from foreign governments. You Iranians seem to have a distorted vision of your Shah.
Love Pahlavi❤❤❤❤
The Great Shah of Iran Hail his soul in peace in the hope of freedom of Iran from dictatorship and attainment of freedom.
He was a progressive women didn't have to be veiled he also gave open interviews without censorship when the media went to visit the Ayatollah the whole interview was censored
May his soul rest in peace.
❤❤❤Shah❤❤❤

If the Shah and her family were still there, some European and Western countries would not be able to achieve their goals !!
😂😂😂😂😂😂British only appointed King Shah family to loot oil . And CIA removed PM Mossaddige with the help of this king . West only sent Khomeini to over throw King Shah when he refused to reduce oil price as they demanded for very cheap price. 😂

JAVID SHAH ❤
This is a lesson for other world leaders that never depend on the American and the western countries as back supporter they all ways denies the long friendship and leave them and run away when hard time comes
Javid shah ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Unlike Ataturk who was also a reformer, the Shah was reluctant (unlike his father Reza Shah) to take on his opponents in the Islamic clergy. He saw the Communists as the main threat.
he was a peaceful person and that was his weakness.
@@Hamsafar_gashtpeaceful person who was responsible for the deaths of 15,000+ people for his white revolution lol
♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️
Nothing bearing the word “British” was ever friend or ally of Shah!!!
The curse of oil
Thank you for sharing. ✌️
Shah might have been an American tout, but, he also immensely contributed to Iranian economic and military development. Iran, equipment-wise, had the best-armed airforce in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf, arguably, better compared to Turkish and IDF Air Forces.
Also, the Iranian Navy had the largest fleet of hovercraft vessels.
Iranian economic growth rates during the 1970s went bonkers reaching astronomical figures in real GNP growth rate terms at market prices. Iranian large cities were the commercial equivalent of many Western capitals and cities. It was a period of economic boom.
Where Shah made a mistake was that his economic model left behind the poorest of the poor.
Shah Reza did distribute land deeds under the banner of the White Revolution, but, that did not change the rural sense of alienation which later was well exploited by Mullahs.
Also, the party thrown to celebrate the Pahlavi Dynasty and King Cyrus the Great's legacy was a total disaster.
According to some unquoted figures, the entire budget of Switzerland was spent on setting up an artificial city in the Middle of the Desert City of Persepolis and the wines, and foods were flown in along with the Chefs from the Maxim restaurant in Paris, which led to irrational exuberance on part of the royal family, which became the basis of the Islamic Revolution and his ultimate toppling in 1979.
The desert party cost $25 million ... the rumored figures were spread by his detractors. Later the income from tourism more than made up for the spent money.
The Shah's military may have been big, but none of that large military was built in Iran. Iran during that time could not produce a single item that was worth praising. The Shah paid out massive amounts of money to American, European and Israeli arms manufacturers, but was not sophisticated enough to produce and manage any of it without the active management of foreigners. It is so shameful that the land of the Great Iranian Nation during the reign of that stooge, the Shah allowed foreign soldiers to travel within its borders as if though they owned Iran. Never again should a foreign soldier step foot within the borders of Iran. Iran's economy at that time was an unsophisticated single product economy only exporting unrefined petroleum. For anyone to be proud of the Shah and Iran at that time, which during his reign was more dependent on foreigners than anytime in its history, is shameful.

@user-lm6qg2ju5x you are talking rubbish. Iean had many major industries. At least 3 major steal mill factories. Helicopters, tractors.bus shaccis and much much more. Educate yourself before you open your horrible mouth.
Javid Shah.
Un'idea molto interessante dedicare diversi documentari di qualità sull'Imperatore dell'Iran Sciah Reza Pahlavi. Grande opportunità.
Thank you you tube boobs😊 for making it possible for me to piece together so many facts from the time it started to be documented on audio visual
LOVE SHAH THE KINGS OF KINGS
Persia never be like before
The Shah did a lot of good things for Iran....but democracy was not one of them.
ایران و پادشاه😍❤❤
As an iranian i can never forgive carter and biden
He did 20 years in the can.
What all being said about him all wrong, his talks are so frank direct honest, its not possible what he was which/witches of western propoganda said, there are ways means to know ABOUT a person, without meeting them, go through heir talks clips and you can piece together what that person is all about,i like him. By the way he also said honestly his " savak" force was trained by western coaches so saying he was cruel means comes from western teaching
🐕🦺🦮 Facebook , Google
در هیچ ویدیویی ندیدم که پادشاه پاهایش را روی هم بیندازد
Phil leadardo ?? 😁😁😁
🎤 Quran
What about Quran?
Warum mussten Menschen in hohe Positionen ( Minister , Generäle .... ) ihn die Hand küssen ?
Cause he was the Shah maybe...?!! In which monarchy you know that bowing to the head of state isn't common?
And by the way the only reason Iran is how it is now is because of the western economic sanctions
No, the reason Iran is destroyed are the terrorist non Iranian Mullahs in power. They should be sanctioned much much more because their only talent is to spend the oil money on terrorism.
Iran is what it is because of the UK&USA backed mullahs mass mess in 1979.
So what was happening during qajars? What was lran before the Pahlavis? Who prevented the progress during qajars?? Sanctions?? There were no sanctions. The Shah and the highly educated patriots devoted their time in building lran. Than worried UK&USA. They overthrew the monarchy and imposed the brailess thugs. That is why lran is what it is today.
@@threemobileone1371
During Kajar time , there was no OIL . Shah used OIL money to develop the country. There is no comparisn . West destroyed Iran. Shah family managed to collect over 100 million doller asserts out of Iran within 54 years. 😂😂. ( Not telling hoe much Shah's sister Ashraf looted . ) . PM Mossaddique too was a PhD holder . Educated in Switzerland and France . Why King Shah helped CIA to house arrest democratically elected PM until his death and burried inside his house even though he requested to burry him in public cemetary ? Was that FREEDOM ? DEMOCRACY ? . King Shah too used SAVAK to oppress people. How comes Shah family had 100 million assert out side of Iran ? they collected this much of money within 54 years ? 😂😂. Were they not thieves ?
"Royal" torturer...
Said the Islamist communist enemy of Iranians
Says who? The BBC, CNN, the mullahs, the communists or the corrupt western media. So piece off.
The overthrow of the late Shah of lran in 1979 by UK&USA might be the biggest TABOO subject in West since WW2, but it isn't their best kept secret among us lranians. Iranians will not forget nor forgive.
Iran in the 1970s was a very backward country. It was an unsophisticated single product economy only exporting unrefined petroleum. The Shah who was placed in power by the British and the CIA after overthrowing Mosaddegh in the coup of 1953 was a stooge taking orders from the US, Britain and Israel. Iran under the Shah, was not even able to keep an accounting of its sale of petroleum. The Shah could do nothing of significance in world affairs, without first asking his handlers for permission. Female adult literacy more than tripled - from 24 percent in 1976 to 81 percent in 2016. Females who finished primary education increased from 36 percent in 1971 to 99 percent in 2017. The percentage of females in higher education (tertiary) increased by nearly 20 times - from 3 percent in 1978 to 59 percent in 2018.
Iranian bot 😂😂😂
Get an education, you fool.
Mosadegh was not overthown by UK&USA. The lranian patriots. Bazzaries, private sectors, the loyal army and even mullahs have turned against that useles pain the butt of us lranians. Don't repeat BBC CNN bs. Iranians no longer buy that.
Literacy in lran was not 3%. It was 65%. You have no shame.
