Mohammad Reza Pahlavi iráni sah idézet

Mohammad Reza Sah Pahlavi - perzsául محمد رضا پهلوی; - Perzsia utolsó sahja , a hatalmat megragadó Reza Pahlavi gyermeke volt. Fiatalon, apja lemondatása után került trónra, felnőve pedig feltétlen Amerika- és Izrael-barátságot tanúsított a hidegháború során. Szekuláris, az iráni iszlám civilizáció ellenében folytatott politikája és hibás, pazarló gazdasági döntései révén diktatórikus rendszere mind komolyabb ellenzéket termelt ki, amely az iráni forradalom keretében 1979-ben megbuktatta. Hazájából el kellett menekülnie és az emigrációban halt meg röviddel később. Wikipedia
