Pretty much all slander of him comes from Communist and Islamist lies. He was literally a "Philosopher king", the ideal ruler according to Plato.
>mUh OpPrEsSivE dIcTaToR
According to actual sources, only 3,000 people were imprisoned during his entire reign and most of them are the same jihadists who currently run Iran. So the "both the Shah and Ayatollah are equally bad" crowd can GTFO.
>mUh LoW lItErAcY rAtEs
Contrary to popular belief, the Imperial Government actually attempted to reduce Illiteracy. In 1925, the Literacy Rates were only less than 5% and in 1979, it was over 50%. Today's Iran having high Literacy rates is only due to institutions that the Shahanshah put in place
>mUh ImPoVeRiShEd PoPulAtIoN
In 1979 the poverty rates were 20% and today it's 40%. While there was significant poverty, the Imperial Government at least made actual attempts to eradicate it via the White Revolution. Nowadays, the Islamic Republic meanwhile doesn't even acknowledge the mass poverty rates in Iran and instead focuses all funds towards funding Shia Militias like Hezbollah and Houthis as well as building more Mosques than needed.
>mUh 1953 CiA cOuP
He was already Shahanshah before 1953 as he was crowned back in 1941 as the successor to his father. Iran wasn't even democratic before 1953 as the Shahanshah has always held insane executive authority for 2,500 years. While it did have a constitution since 1907, being a constitutional monarchy doesn't make a state democratic as even the German Empire was a constitutional monarchy, it wasn't democratic due to the censorship laws and how much executive power the Kaiser held. Mossadegh wasn't even "democratically elected" as he was appointed directly by the Shahanshah, not elected. Also, the coup was already being planned by the Iranian armed forces before the CIA got involved due to Mossadegh refusing to step down after the Shahanshah ordered him to (the constitution allowed the Shahanshah to do this btw)

>mUh ZiOnIsT pUpPeT
He was openly critical of Israel, the whole "hE wAs A zIoNiSt PuPpEt" line comes from retarded jihadists who believe that anyone who doesn't follow their ideology is automatically "Zionist"
>mUh 1979 ReVoLuTiOn
He was overthrown mainly by Islamists and only because of his secularism. His land reforms via the White revolution destroyed feudal remnants and stripped the clergy of their privileges (which they didn't deserve to begin with) and they threw a temper tantrum about it. Look up the Cinema Rex fire, Islamists set fire to a cinema and blamed the Shahanshah for it

Which Shah was he Shah of?

>>18047966
his mistake was not violently mass executing mudslimes

Ummm..shut up..ok?

He had 0 PR skills. If you can't get the people to agree to keep you ruling, you deserve to lose your job. I don't care if he implemented secular policies, the people wanted Islam. And if you couldn't convince people to play secular, you play Islam. You don't throw a counter-tantrum about secularism and guarantee your exit.
>>
>>18047966
What was his policy regarding Greater Israel?
>>
>>18047966
Both him and the current regime of Iran are cia assets. Iran today is more covert and acts as a controlled opposition, but if you dig deep enough you realize their agenda aligns with Israel’s
>>
>>18048295
The problem is that sometimes the people are easy to infect and easy to have them choose things to their own detriment.
Which is why if you have a good ruler you don't allow the people overthrow the good ruler to implement what they want.
If you leave things to the hands of 4channers and the people, they would choose meme candidates over good qualified candidates.
If you left it out to their hands they would have reality TV shows win over masterpieces.
So why would you want to cave into the choices of the masses like this?

All of them. The King of the Persians has always had the title "Lord of Lord", "King of Kings"(shahanaha). These titles were used by both of the Messiahs of the Jews, Cyrus and Jesus. Every well educated person knows this.

>>18047966
His father should have force converted the nation to Zoroastrianism as the fbi/cia/whatever thought he would
>>
>>18049549
I unironically think that's the plan now. Young folks there call themselves Persian, not Iranian and they don't give a fuck about pisslam. There are even pilgrimages to Cyrus's tomb that attract tons of people.

If the spooks wanted to give it a shot, I think the 52% of the population would actually go for it. Worth a shot anyway.

he was a devout muslim just not a jihadist extremist, or a fundamentalist wahabi, why else would he be throwing his weight around in the muslim world in places like yemen, and oman, here he was even gonna go to war with ethiopia on behalf of muslim somalia

To save face. Iran was Israel's best ally in the region before the revolution. This foreign policy was even dubbed as the 'alliance of the periphery'. Israel would have found it hard to stay afloat without the Shah's oil during the '73 crisis. This is all a good thing, however. Jews and Persians keeping down the Arab rabble is the natural order of the Near East.

Why so many posts about Iran? Is Pissrael planning some new shit?

Forgot to add Turks in there. Turkey and Iran were the central pillars of Israeli foreign policy when Pan-Arabism was in its heyday.

Recent surveys conducted by the Group for Analyzing and Measuring Attitudes in Iran (GAMAAN) provide a clearer picture of the current sentiments among Iranians:
>81% of respondents inside Iran reject the Islamic Republic and desire a secular, democratic government

https://gamaan.org/2022/03/31/political-systems-survey-english/
https://www.iranintl.com/en/202302036145
>47% of respondents indicated they had lost their religion, with many identifying as atheists, agnostics, or following other belief systems such as Zoroastrianism and secularism
https://gamaan.org/2022/03/31/political-systems-survey-english/
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/iran-becoming-secular-state-168691
>88% of the population consider “having a democratic political system” to be “fairly good” or “very good”, while 67% consider “having a system governed by religious law” to be “fairly bad” or “very bad”
https://gamaan.org/2022/03/31/political-systems-survey-english/
>40% identified as Muslim, significantly lower than the state's claim of 99.5%

No, but they skert. They know it's only vestigal Boomerism keeping them alive at this point. Once Trump is gone, so are they......and they know it. Hence, the desperation and sperg fests as of late.

The COPE is not only low effort, it's just plain factually incorrect. You gotta at lest try, Moshe.

Yeah you’d have to be pretty stupid to believe these “surveys” are in any shape representative, probably from the same retards who said iraqis would welcome the west as liberators, anyone who puts the regime at under 60 percent support shouldn’t even be a look as obviously that goes against reality and it wouldn’t be in charge

Gee really makes me think. Almost as if there's some sort of agenda here.
