Goldie Ghamari - Iran before 1979： Documentary Explained by an Iranian

00:00:00.000 ...

00:00:24.680 ...

00:00:29.800 Thank you.

00:00:59.800 Thank you.

00:01:29.800 Thank you.

00:01:59.800 Thank you.

00:02:29.800 We'll be right back.

00:02:59.800 Thank you.

00:03:29.800 Thank you.

00:03:59.800 Thank you.

00:04:29.800 well hello and good evening everyone thank you for joining me for another one of our

00:04:50.200 watch parties a special hello to our members as well as all the mods thanks for being here

00:04:56.360 um i didn't have one last night and i actually didn't do my daily live stream this morning

00:05:01.000 because i was feeling a little bit under the weather but i'm feeling much better now so we're

00:05:05.380 back and uh we're back to our regular normal schedule so i figured that tonight i would

00:05:11.880 show a documentary of what iran was like prior to the 1979 islamic revolution and i'm feeling a

00:05:20.560 little bit hopeful about this one and the reason is because this documentary was actually produced

00:05:25.920 in 1974. So unlike a lot of the more, you know, modern documentaries that were created

00:05:34.600 post-1979 Islamic Republic, you know, that has a lot of that, you know, Islamic,

00:05:42.920 like Islamist narrative and the communist narrative in there, because this one is from 1974,

00:05:48.840 I'm hopeful that it's not going to have any of that sort of, you know, propaganda, fake news that the Islamists and the communists keep on pushing out.

00:05:59.840 And, you know, given some of the more difficult news that has been coming out of occupied Iran recently, especially with respect to the brutal murder of Omid Starlak, a 25-year-old Iranian man, just for the crime of wanting to live in a free Iran. 0.52

00:06:18.840 I figured we could use, you know, a lighter documentary, something to, you know, give us hope, especially for the Iranians watching, to give Iranians hope that we can go back to what Iran was before.

00:06:33.280 But I also hope that for those of you watching either on the live stream or those of you who watch the recorded version of this, I hope it also gives you a little bit of insight into what Iran was like before 1979.

00:06:45.840 we were a modern western secular country and society and you know that's exactly what we're

00:06:53.980 fighting to to get back to so a lot of you you know ask well what's Iran going to look like the

00:07:00.280 day after the Islamic Republic is overthrown I can confidently tell you what Iran will look like 0.93

00:07:08.000 because we've already experienced it and so what we are fighting for as a nation is to go back to 0.99

00:07:15.460 what we had prior to 1979 so you know in reality iran's past is also her future so

00:07:24.820 with that uh just a quick message for um our our viewers on x

00:07:45.460 All right. For those of you who don't speak Persian, I basically just let our Iranian viewers on X know that if they want to share their comments with people to join our English channel live stream on YouTube and they can share their thoughts and comments there.

00:08:07.300 So without further ado, let's begin. This documentary is called Iran Under the Pahlavi Dynasty, The Heirs of Cyrus the Great, full documentary, 1974, scanned in 4K.

00:08:19.900 Our newly scanned documentary in 4K resolution from 1974 shows the state of Persia, I mean the country is called Iran, not Persia, in the early 20th century and the rise to power of the Pahlavi dynasty, the founding of the modern imperial state of Iran with political and cultural changes to the everyday life as well as its fate in World War II and the Cold War

00:08:47.980 under the forced outside influence of the global superpowers and the further societal modernization

00:08:55.940 under Shah Mohammad Rezaev until shortly before the outbreak of the Iranian revolution.

00:09:04.020 So let us get started. I am hopeful for this documentary. I'm hoping that it will,

00:09:11.200 you know provide an objective view of of what happened uh you know in you know what occurred

00:09:21.000 in iran uh during the 20th century again because this is from 1974 i have high hopes

00:09:26.900 so i'm actually going into this with a rating of 7 out of 10 let's see what happens

00:09:41.200 yeah for anyone who also claims that iran was always a muslim country

00:09:56.660 um it's all nonsense anyone who you know actually bothers to take some time to look at what iranians

00:10:04.300 looked like and dressed like prior to 1979 you can easily see like the images that you're seeing

00:10:10.040 right now, this could be any European city in the 70s, right?

00:10:40.040 Iran today, a country brimming with energy, exploding with construction and development,

00:11:06.620 A dynamic state with a thriving capital.

00:11:26.340 The most modern achievements under a monarchy dating back 2,500 years.

00:11:36.620 so that is the iconic um that's a very iconic tower right that's called the um

00:11:48.380 borja shahyad or the shahya tower that was built in 1971 so um at the time of the production

00:11:56.060 of this documentary um this was only um three three years old at the time

00:12:06.620 This was Iran, the old Persia.

00:12:35.100 Three quarters of a century ago, romantic scenes of the nomad's life. 0.91

00:12:40.080 But in daily routine, wandering from snow-covered mountains in the north to the warmer plains in the south,

00:12:45.840 fording streams and rivers with large herds of cattle and sheep,

00:12:49.800 the struggle for survival, for the bare existence, was unbelievably hard. 0.98

00:13:05.100 Yeah, this is what Iran looks like before the Path Heavy Dynasty came in and actually modernized the country. 0.99

00:13:21.100 I mean, this video has to be from like over a hundred years ago. 0.95

00:13:27.100 The footage here.

00:13:29.100 For those who tilled the land, even for those in the villages, it was not much more comfortable.

00:13:44.300 Obtaining water for irrigation, even with the help of wells like this one, and through

00:13:48.500 underground canals the canots was a strenuous undertaking

00:14:01.300 usually the soil belonged to a feudal landlord who owned mostly the whole

00:14:05.380 village and many more like it sometimes up to

00:14:09.540 so remember in the other documentaries guys i talk about how

00:14:13.300 when Rizasha the great um the you know the first Pahlavi monarch who came to power he actually

00:14:20.340 um started a process of land reforms which you know continued with his son um Muhammad Rizasha

00:14:27.780 who like they got rid of this feudal system right so one of the reasons that the landlords

00:14:33.620 you know and the clergy did not like the Pahlavi dynasty and accused them of being dictators

00:14:38.580 is because um the shahs got rid of this feudal um land system because all these people you're

00:14:46.660 seeing here are serfs right it was basically modern day slavery and then the paha nevi dynasty 0.85

00:14:52.740 abolished what you're seeing here right now so the islamic clergy didn't like that because all of a 0.72

00:14:57.540 sudden um you know they didn't have access to the power and the land um and they don't have access

00:15:03.700 to to slave labor so that's where the whole you know islamic jihadi propaganda about the shah

00:15:09.700 being a dictator came from it was because the shah saw this and said nope we're not going to

00:15:14.660 have this anymore like we're going to eradicate serfdom and you know these these um you know 0.81

00:15:19.540 feudal taunts from from the country everyone's going to be equal 100 villages were the property

00:15:26.900 of one landlord so what the farmers earned with all that hard work did not even belong to them

00:15:33.700 generally it was see all right i'm gonna go back because this is important so this this

00:15:37.940 this talks about the feudal um landlord obtaining water for irrigation even with the help of wells

00:15:44.500 like this one and through underground canals the canucks was a strenuous undertaking

00:15:49.940 usually the soil belonged to a feudal landlord who owned mostly the whole village and many more

00:16:04.340 like it sometimes up to 100 villages with the property of one landlord so what the farmers

00:16:10.820 earned with all that hard work did not even belong to them generally it was divided into

00:16:16.340 into five portions. The first for the land owner, the landlord. The second for the man

00:16:22.400 who provided the seed, the landlord. The third for the man who supplied the water, the landlord.

00:16:29.720 The fourth for the man who provided the oxen, probably the landlord again. The peasant

00:16:35.160 obtained but the last fifth from which he had to pay taxes and try to support himself 0.99

00:16:40.440 and his family right so so all of these like islamic clerics um who are currently governing 0.81

00:16:55.480 uh you know who are currently holding iran hostage um they supported this the system

00:17:02.200 because they got a cut from the landlord and of course the landlords also supported this

00:17:06.840 because they got everything um so yeah this is why this is why these people uh do not like

00:17:14.120 the pahlebi dynasty right 0.97

00:17:36.840 I mean, you can you can also even see even like the women, like, you know, the women who wore hijab, they never wore like the black, you know, blanket garbage bag type shrouds, right? 0.93

00:18:00.200 that the current Islamists force women to wear. 0.98

00:18:03.060 Even back then, the hijab that they wore, 1.00

00:18:05.500 you know, it was different colors, it was bright,

00:18:08.080 and it wasn't, like, overpowering either, right?

00:18:11.180 So keep that in mind as well.

00:18:12.540 Keep that in mind when you're watching these videos

00:18:14.900 from, like, 100 to, you know, 150 years ago

00:18:18.060 of what Iran was like.

00:18:19.640 It was never, like, the full-on, like, garbage bag-type, 0.53

00:18:23.620 you know, chadors that the current Islamic regime

00:18:27.000 forces Iranian women to wear. 0.84

00:18:30.200 In such poverty and ignorance, nobody cared for even the most modest hygiene. 1.00

00:18:53.580 And there was no chance for a brighter future.

00:19:00.200 guards on the roofs of the mud huts always alert for armed bandits or whole nomadic tribes who

00:19:12.020 could attack at any time and often did none of these attacks could ever be filmed but 0.94

00:19:17.260 tribes like these defied all attempts to pacify the country 0.66

00:19:21.140 travelers through the countryside pay tolls to those tribes who in turn protected them

00:19:38.560 against attacks or just refrained themselves from robbing them so it's basically like the

00:19:45.140 wild wild west but even if the travelers bought relative security from the bandits

00:19:49.640 the condition of the roads made each journey a hazardous adventure the caravanserai a fortified

00:20:02.420 place providing shelter for the caravans at night a trading center by day but not a totally secure

00:20:16.880 shelter because against a marauding tribe there was no guaranteed security in those days in old

00:20:22.640 persia where there was no such thing as a strong central government with an effective police force 0.78

00:20:39.600 girls heavily veiled children memorizing koran verses by heart but for most of them

00:20:46.800 this was all they ever learned to read. 0.63

00:20:52.700 Children laboring at the age of eight.

00:20:55.600 In the countryside, they might even begin working in the fields at a younger age.

00:21:03.680 These scenes are but a reflection of the autocratic system

00:21:07.000 prevailing in the adult world as well.

00:21:09.340 i mean watching this um

00:21:17.980 it really really um brings home

00:21:26.700 how much the pahlebi dynasty worked to modernize iran and to build iran um into what it was prior 0.94

00:21:37.120 to 1979 right like imagine inheriting this like backwater third world country which is 0.55

00:21:47.520 predominantly illiterate um it's a feudal system people are poor um you know just just like a third

00:21:55.440 world third world desolate wasteland imagine inheriting that in 1925 and then by 1979 you 0.95

00:22:05.040 turn it into a modern thriving almost first world country before the islamic dictatorship took over 0.99

00:22:11.920 and then turn it back into a seventh century islamic hellhole governed by sharia law so um 0.78

00:22:18.560 like watching these videos of like iran under the qajar dynasty because because 0.57

00:22:24.400 this is still during the qajar dynasty this is before 1925 um it it really it really like

00:22:32.000 brings to light how hard the pahlavi dynasty really worked to modernize iran and i mean this

00:22:39.820 is why we iranians refer to them as khandan iran which means the the iran building pahlavi dynasty

00:22:48.500 because they literally built iran right from 1925 to 1979 they built iran and um what they inherited

00:22:58.060 was like a again like a third world backwater desert wasteland um and from 1925 to 1979 they 0.77

00:23:07.100 basically turned it into an almost first world country um and then that's when the islamic 0.96

00:23:12.980 clerics took the country and you know sent it back to the seventh century so guys like this 0.98

00:23:20.660 is just wow i mean this this is why we call them the the iran building family right

00:23:25.200 1906 revolution persia was the first country in the middle and near east where a revolution in

00:23:40.560 favor of a democratic constitution occurred and was successful

00:23:55.200 the constitutionalists among them quite a number of clergymen forced the then shah to

00:24:09.840 abdicate in favor of his son guys so so keep this in mind there was a

00:24:16.920 Persian constitutional revolution in 1906 there's another documentary that I've watched

00:24:25.660 you know we've live streamed that documentary as well um it's in the same playlist as this one so

00:24:31.180 you can go back and find that one a lot of people don't know that iran actually became a constitutional

00:24:36.380 monarchy um in in 1905 basically so um keep that in mind as we go through because anyone who claims

00:24:43.660 that you know the shah was a dictator or you know all that nonsense they literally know nothing about

00:24:49.020 iran or they are just using the communist islamist takiyah talking points right because if you go

00:24:55.500 back and actually check you'll see that iran was a constitutional monarchy and you can see

00:25:00.380 that the parliament at the time the parliament actually had the power to change monarchs right

00:25:06.540 which is what they did um like they're still talking about the ghajar dynasty here right so

00:25:11.420 they haven't clarified but when they're talking about here forcing the the ghajar shah to abdicate

00:25:16.620 and bringing in his son this is still before 1925 this is a previous dynasty of iran the um dynasty

00:25:27.900 in 1909 with active russian military help the exiled shah tried to regain power and abolish

00:25:34.700 the constitution but failed it was not did you hear that so did you catch that part with russian

00:25:41.260 military help right because the soviets have always had an interest in controlling iran so

00:25:48.700 they actually tried to um abolish the constitution and take the country because they wanted iran to

00:25:56.860 become a proxy of the soviets it didn't work but um the soviets did not give up so after that they

00:26:05.100 they kept on continuing and then eventually they founded um a communist marxist party called the

00:26:11.980 tude party so a lot of the um a lot of the civil unrest under the pahlavi dynasty was actually

00:26:20.620 funded by moscow right because moscow always wanted control of iran so even you know even

00:26:28.060 before the pahlavi dynasty came to power you can see they were actually funding the previous

00:26:34.700 dynasty so even within the previous dynasty there was still russian interference and so

00:26:39.420 um the russians just constantly tried unfortunately they were successful in 1979 so

00:26:46.060 part of the reason the islamic revolution was successful in 1979 was because of russian

00:26:50.700 interference russian money um and also kgb agents who were in uh iran at the time as well

00:26:57.100 so you know the the russian interference goes back like a hundred years or more

00:27:01.500 the first time that russia intervened in persian affairs let me go back that's important oh okay

00:27:07.980 they're gonna oh oh wow they're actually going to talk about russia here i'm i'm pleasantly

00:27:13.900 surprised the constitutionalists among them quite a number of clergymen okay the fact that they're

00:27:19.340 actually going to be talking about russian interference um no other documentary has

00:27:24.620 really focused on that so um i've gone from like a seven to like like a i don't know like a nine

00:27:31.340 right now because a lot of people don't know about that russian interferes and then when i talk about

00:27:35.900 it people are like oh what she's talking about she knows nothing but the fact that i i just spoke

00:27:40.620 about it now this documentary is going to speak about it like i i'm liking this documentary

00:27:46.140 forced the then shah to abdicate in favor of his son

00:27:55.500 in 1909 with active russian military help the exiled shah tried to regain power and abolish

00:28:02.300 the constitution but failed it was not the first time that russia intervened in persian affairs

00:28:11.740 between the population and commercial centers of europe and the far east

00:28:16.540 iran formerly known as persia lies about midway a link between east and west

00:28:23.660 this strategic location a source of constant dispute with her neighbors

00:28:28.460 the famous silk road the ancient trade route between europe and china crossed this country

00:28:34.700 there also was pressure for a path from north to south iran's northern neighbor the russian giant

00:28:41.180 looking longingly at the ice-free harbors on the persian gulf

00:28:45.340 iran also was a neighbor of india which until 1947 was england's most important colony

00:28:53.660 In 1907, Russia and England carved out zones of influence in Iran, in the north for the

00:29:01.660 Tsar, in the southeast, along the Indian border, for the British Empire. 0.90

00:29:13.660 In the First World War, Iran again was the football of the big powers.

00:29:18.660 Russia had established military bases in northern Iran.

00:29:22.660 Turkey, aligned with Germany and Austria-Hungary against Russia and her allies,

00:29:27.460 failed to persuade Iran to oust the Russians.

00:29:30.440 So Turkey sent troops into Iran.

00:29:33.460 In a counterattack, new Russian divisions poured into the northern region,

00:29:37.800 and English troops pushed northward from the Persian Gulf to the Caspian Sea.

00:29:52.660 During the past century, England and Russia again and again wrung economic concessions

00:29:59.340 from the weak Persian government.

00:30:01.800 Russia gained the provinces of Georgia and Armenia from Persia as early as 1813 and 1828.

00:30:14.340 Persian refugees fleeing the invading foreign armies, toll barriers in the middle of a nominally

00:30:21.660 sovereign state, erected by occupation forces. With the help of tribal leaders and local

00:30:27.080 chieftains, the English forcibly recruited a Persian police force called the South Persia

00:30:32.080 Rifles.

00:30:45.360 They even went so far as to free convicted robbers to enlist them in their auxiliary 0.63

00:30:50.420 Yeah, Major, you make a good point about how that worked out for Armenia, because under the Qajar dynasty, they were so weak, they gave away the province of Armenia, Armenia being predominantly Christian, right?

00:31:18.660 And then, unfortunately, then, you know, Turkey got involved, and then that's where the Armenian genocide happened.

00:31:25.220 I have a feeling that if Armenia had still been a part of Persia at the time and continued to be a part of Persia, the Armenian genocide might have never happened.

00:31:37.820 Britain's main interest? Oil. 0.78

00:31:40.260 As early as 1901, the Englishman William Knox Darcy had been granted a 60-year oil concession.

00:31:46.760 Years of unremitting efforts finally led to the discovery of large oil fields

00:31:50.920 some 150 miles northeast of Abaddon.

00:31:54.260 That day, the 26th of May, 1908,

00:31:57.740 marked the beginning of the oil industry in the Middle East.

00:32:04.340 Oil at that time being transported on donkeys and horseback.

00:32:08.620 the english and the russians who had quarreled over persia so often as war allies were now on

00:32:20.860 rather good terms but that alliance came to an abrupt end when in 1917 the bolshevik

00:32:28.480 revolution was successful russia withdrew from the war although not from her imperialist traditions

00:32:35.020 In 1920, the Bolsheviks invaded the Persian province of Ghislaine

00:32:38.940 to help a rebellious tribal leader establish the Soviet Republic of Ghislaine.

00:32:43.880 Thank you. Thank you, Rader. I appreciate the support.

00:32:49.000 Welcome. I hope you're enjoying.

00:32:50.680 Guys, Rader's the best. He always comes in.

00:32:52.820 He or she always comes in, supports the channel, but they never comment.

00:32:56.860 Rader, if you ever have a comment or a question, let me know in the live stream.

00:33:00.140 We're here, you know, to answer your questions about Iran.

00:33:03.540 so thank you for being here glad you're enjoying the live stream on on persian territory when the

00:33:09.780 red army withdrew their puppet regime was quickly overthrown tens of thousands of

00:33:17.300 refugees aggravated the misery of iran's own war-stricken people the white russians who had 0.99

00:33:23.060 fled the reds they came from a country embroiled in civil war into a country in chaos there was 0.99

00:33:31.700 but one military unit in persia which had anything resembling discipline the persian cossack brigade

00:33:38.740 and there was one man reza han serving in that brigade who was to change the destiny

00:33:45.300 guys can we just say we love we love reza khan now of course reza shah so this is a pro-pahlavi

00:33:50.500 channel but guys pay attention to this part because reza khan eventually became the um uh

00:33:57.220 the Shah of Iran. We call him, you know, Reza the Great. Reza the Great. We love him. This is a

00:34:03.560 pro-pah-levi, pro-Shah channel. So pay attention to his story because his story and his rise 0.96

00:34:12.520 to becoming the Shah of Iran is incredible. And he was always such a very humble, humble man.

00:34:21.020 But he loved Iran so much.

00:34:24.820 And, you know, what he did for Iran, like, no other person, no other person comes close

00:34:31.520 except for perhaps his son, Shahan Sha'aryalmeh.

00:34:35.700 ...of his country.

00:34:37.280 While most of the officers in the Cossack Brigade were Russians, Reza Khan was pure

00:34:42.020 Persian from northern Iran.

00:34:43.900 he was born in a little village in the province of misandara near the

00:34:52.420 Caspian Sea in northern Persia in a modest little house in August 1920 Reza

00:35:03.280 dismissed all Russian officers and took over command of the brigade and February

00:35:08.440 21st 1921 was the day of reza hans coup d'etat with his cossacks he marched to tehran and overthrew

00:35:16.200 a weak and tottering government no blood was shed and his minutes i mean it wasn't it wasn't really

00:35:22.280 a coup d'etat because he was he was reclaiming power from from the russians who had taken control

00:35:31.480 but i mean i don't know why they call it a coup d'etat because a coup d'etat necessarily implies

00:35:37.080 that he went in and and he took control and he he took control in 1917 but he didn't actually do

00:35:43.160 that he went in he got rid of the people who had taken control and he reinstalled the gajar shah

00:35:49.080 at the time after the master of war he first reorganized the persian army who was to change

00:35:55.000 the destiny of his country while most of the officers in the cossack brigade were russians

00:36:00.280 Reza Han was pure Persian from northern Iran he was born in a little village in the province

00:36:10.840 of Mizandaran near the Caspian Sea in northern Persia in a modest little house

00:36:21.000 in August 1920 Reza dismissed all Russian officers and took over command of the brigade

00:36:26.680 and February 21st 1921 was the day of Reza Han's coup d'etat with his Cossacks. He marched to

00:36:34.940 Tehran and overthrew a weak and tottering government. No blood was shed and as minister

00:36:40.100 of war he first reorganized the Persian army and then began to pacify the country.

00:36:47.980 Yeah so it doesn't explain why he did that. So the reason he did that in 1921 is because

00:36:56.280 um the like the the government at the time was under the influence of the soviets and it was

00:37:04.680 turning towards communism and of course people in the country didn't want that so and and the people

00:37:10.760 who were there actually they had gone in in a coup d'etat and they had uh suspended the government

00:37:17.200 at the time suspended the parliament so he went in he basically got rid of them so um i don't like

00:37:22.960 how they frame that. But what's interesting is that, you know, like they don't, a coup

00:37:28.660 d'etat necessarily, you know, a coup d'etat implies you want to go in and gain power and

00:37:33.040 be the leader, right? But that's not what happened. He went in, he got rid of the people

00:37:37.200 who were controlling the Shah at the time. And as you can tell in the documentary, they

00:37:41.440 said he was the minister of war. So he was an advisor for the Shah at the time. So I

00:37:48.640 know why they don't give the full picture there in order to establish a strong central power

00:37:59.200 he fought the rebellious tribes and marauding bandits

00:38:07.360 no documentary film exists at those battles but these film scenes produced years later

00:38:12.640 give an impression of how the field campaign was fought it was no easy task for a commander-in-chief

00:38:18.320 who once was heard to exclaim if only i had a thousand rifles of the same caliber

00:38:24.000 the equipment of his soldiers was still that bad

00:38:36.640 but eventually firm control over the whole country was established national sovereignty

00:38:41.600 was paralleled in the international field within so that's him right there right like the

00:38:47.120 him standing there, that's Rizal Khan, soon to be Rizal Shah, but this is before he became

00:38:53.620 the Shah.

00:38:54.620 Five days of the new government's reign, all Russian concessions in Iran were abolished,

00:39:00.180 concessions for Britain granted by the old government cancelled, with the exception of

00:39:04.000 the old oil concession. 1.00

00:39:06.440 So that's important guys, because a lot of the Islamists and communists, in order to

00:39:12.800 to justify the Islamic revolution, they claim that the Pahlavis were puppets of, you know,

00:39:18.320 the British or puppets of the Russians. As you can tell, that wasn't the case whatsoever. In fact,

00:39:23.120 he went in because the Russians and the Brits had too much power. He went in and he basically put

00:39:28.500 an end to that. So again, you know, it's just, it's just like that, like, is Islamist jihadi 1.00

00:39:35.540 propaganda where they just twist the narrative, right? Like they just lie. Everything that comes 0.97

00:39:40.900 out of their mouth is a lie the government's troop movements had been seriously hampered by

00:39:57.620 the almost complete lack of adequate roads one of reza's first actions was to start construction of

00:40:03.700 a network of main roads a task accomplished with largely inadequate means but with much enthusiasm

00:40:10.900 in 1925 the last shah of the khadja dynasty who had spent most of his time traveling abroad

00:40:23.540 as here in rome with italy's king umberto was deposed by the majlis iran's parliament

00:40:29.940 reza han then prime minister is elected shah okay guys so that's really important did you hear that

00:40:38.600 So anyone who says that the Pahlavi dynasty came in through a coup d'etat and, you know, they forced their way in, complete and utter nonsense.

00:40:46.860 As you just heard, I'm going to replay this part because this is important.

00:40:50.780 So as you just heard, it was the majlis, the parliament itself, right?

00:40:55.340 The democratically elected parliament of Iran got rid of the previous dynasty because they had the authority to do so under the constitution of Iran.

00:41:05.380 And then the prime minister at the time, who was Rizal Khan, was then democratically elected to become the Shah of Iran.

00:41:15.240 Do you see that? So no coup, no war, no nothing.

00:41:19.880 So anyone and everyone who claims that the Pahavi dynasty came to power through like a coup or whatever,

00:41:26.360 either they don't know their history about iran or they are lying and they hope that you won't go

00:41:32.840 and actually look into it for yourself right let me play this part again because it is critical

00:41:38.260 guys it's critical complete lack of adequate roads one of raza's first actions was to start

00:41:45.220 construction of a wait i think i went too far ahead let me go back okay here we go

00:41:51.880 province of Mizan Dharan near the Caspian Sea in northern Persia in a modest little house.

00:42:05.880 But eventually, firm control over the whole country was established.

00:42:09.880 National sovereignty was paralleled in the international field.

00:42:12.880 Within five days of the new government's reign, all Russian concessions in Iran were abolished,

00:42:18.880 concessions for Britain granted by the old government cancelled with the

00:42:22.880 exception of the old oil concession

00:42:38.880 the government's troop movements had been seriously hampered by the almost

00:42:43.120 complete lack of adequate roads one of Reza's first actions was to start

00:42:47.920 construction of a network of main roads a task accomplished with largely inadequate means

00:42:53.440 but with much enthusiasm

00:43:02.480 in 1925 the last shah of the qajar dynasty who had spent most of his time

00:43:08.480 this is a part okay pay attention in 1925 the last shot of the qajar dynasty traveling abroad

00:43:14.400 as here in rome with italy's king umberto was deposed by the majlis iran's parliament

00:43:21.680 so the previous shah from the qajar dynasty who spent most of his time traveling around

00:43:27.520 the world and spending iran's money and you know having a blast and partying

00:43:31.680 was deposed by the majlis which is the democratically elected parliament of iran okay

00:43:38.000 Reza Han, then Prime Minister, is elected Shah.

00:43:43.920 Some months later, in April 1926, the official coronation takes place on the so-called Peacock

00:43:50.440 Throne.

00:43:55.040 So no coup d'etat, no violence, no force, the Pahlavi monarchy was brought in through

00:44:02.380 the Majlis itself, so it was all part of the constitution.

00:44:06.280 What happened?

00:44:15.480 Shah Reza was not the first officer of simple origin to ascend to the Persian throne.

00:44:21.040 190 years before, Nadia Shah, called the Napoleon of Persia, had preceded him, reunified the

00:44:27.800 country defeated the turks and forced the russians out of persian territory they had occupied 0.56

00:44:38.040 out of reza shah's family his eldest son mohammed reza is appointed crown prince

00:44:57.800 Some years later, Reza Shah sends his son to the Swiss College of Rosset.

00:45:04.140 He becomes an excellent soccer player.

00:45:14.440 The years of the government of Reza Shah, later to be named Reza Shah the Great,

00:45:19.660 are the years in which the foundations of a sovereign and modern state are laid.

00:45:23.980 The years in which Iran is reborn.

00:45:27.800 resurgence of a once great country ships sailing under the iranian flag ports roads communication

00:45:39.620 systems a whole national infrastructure developing and foreign monopolies inside

00:45:45.080 iran for instance tobacco sales or telephone and telegraph lines nationalized did you hear that so

00:45:53.780 So Rizal Shah did the exact opposite of what the Islamists and the communists accused him of, right?

00:46:00.180 Because they accused him of being like a Western imperialist puppet.

00:46:04.440 Meanwhile, it was the exact opposite.

00:46:06.160 He was actually nationalizing all of those industries that under the previous dynasty had basically been monopolized by foreign influence, right?

00:46:16.960 So he was getting rid of all of that.

00:46:19.120 So again, every single lie about the Pahlavi dynasty, when you actually look at what they did in Iran, completely unfounded.

00:46:27.940 And now you're starting to understand why we Iranians, we love the Pahlavi dynasty and we call them the Iran building family, right?

00:46:38.080 the Iran building, the Pahlavi family, because they literally built Iran into what it was

00:46:47.060 before the Islamists and communists took over in 1979. 0.52

00:46:59.900 Perhaps the most impressive achievement, the Trans-Iranian Railway, where it begins 0.99

00:47:06.060 in 1927 and is to last for 12 years unlike previous undertakings under the old dynasty

00:47:13.180 this work is financed not by foreign loans but entirely by iranian means through a special tax

00:47:19.740 on sugar and tea millions of iranians are thus contributing to the top priority national task

00:47:26.060 through their personal sacrifice the first line from the persian gulf to the caspian sea

00:47:32.300 connecting south and north over 900 miles requires construction of 4 100 bridges and 224 tunnels

00:47:41.180 of an aggregate length of 54 miles as an engineering achievement experts consider

00:47:47.020 the trans-iranian railway as more impressive than even the famous swiss railways

00:47:56.220 the trans-iranian railway more impressive than the swiss railways guys like this is how um

00:48:02.060 how much the panavi dynasty invested into iran right i mean the achievements

00:48:09.820 um i don't want to brag but the documentary said it not me

00:48:32.060 so some of you are mentioning in the comments you know you've heard many people talking about

00:48:44.580 pre-1979 iran it was apparently paradise 100 it was and you know you stick around

00:48:50.380 we're live streaming this documentary about iran before 1979 so we're going to get to that right

00:48:56.420 now we're still in the um like in the in the late 20s early 30s right now

00:49:10.820 in 1928 the king of neighboring afghanistan pays the first state visit to the newly born iran

00:49:18.580 that was of course you know afghanistan before it fell to to the isthmus and the taliban as well

00:49:24.100 right?

00:49:54.100 there are parallels and similar interests of the two states like iran afghanistan is a muslim state

00:50:04.580 like iran she has the giant neighbor in the north russia and has had to cope with foreign

00:50:09.700 intervention in the past and the exercises performed as a show for the guest the traditions

00:50:15.220 of the zur hannah the house of strength are a wait can we just can we just appreciate how

00:50:20.500 he pronounced let's go back this was actually kind of cute i want to let's appreciate how he

00:50:27.220 pronounced so for those of you those of you who don't know is like um think of like um you know

00:50:35.380 you know those group fitness classes it's similar to that think of like the iranian version of

00:50:41.060 crossfit okay crossfit like from 100 years ago or you know not 100 like thousands of years ago because

00:50:46.580 because the the zurhune tradition is thousands of years old um literally like people would get

00:50:53.140 together with these weights and they would like do weight exercises while you know people played

00:50:58.340 music in the background for the rhythm so it's a very very like traditional persian thing um a very

00:51:04.980 interesting and you know cool part of of our heritage and culture but i just i just let's

00:51:10.020 Let's just appreciate how he pronounces Zur Khunah.

00:51:12.520 Zur Khunah literally means house of strength.

00:51:17.200 So Khunah is house and Zur is like strength.

00:51:20.780 So it's like literally like powerhouse.

00:51:23.040 ...and similar interests of the two states.

00:51:25.780 Like Iran, Afghanistan is a Muslim state.

00:51:29.180 Like Iran, she has the giant neighbor in the north, Russia,

00:51:33.000 and has had to cope with foreign intervention in the past.

00:51:36.240 And the exercise is performed as a show for the guests,

00:51:39.220 The traditions of the zur hana, the house of strength, are a symbol of the strength needed to maintain sovereignty in such a precarious situation.

00:52:04.940 Another state visit with another neighbor.

00:52:07.660 Reza Shah, this time not the host, but the guest.

00:52:11.720 Visit to Kemal Atatürk, founder of New Turkey.

00:52:15.260 Reza Shah had long wished.

00:52:17.300 So Reza Shah and Atatürk were actually like very, very close.

00:52:21.780 ...as he states in his arrival speech to meet Atatürk.

00:52:25.500 Turkey is facing similar problems as Iran.

00:52:28.360 i am very glad to see you in turkey

00:52:38.860 reza shah's answer i am definitely glad to have been able to fulfill an old wish of mine

00:52:55.840 to pay a visit to your country can i just say i i i will never get tired of watching videos of

00:53:07.340 rizal shah the great i mean it's just what an incredible um incredible amazing person and you

00:53:18.100 know we owe so much to him um for what he did for our country and uh yeah like just such such an

00:53:27.380 such an amazing um human being and you know i would say like in terms of the history of monarchs

00:53:34.980 and kings in iran uh and you know 2500 years of history he's like in the top 500 percent

00:53:48.100 One of the reforms common to both countries, emancipation of women, heavily veiled with 0.84

00:54:12.100 the Qador, excluded from...

00:54:14.100 It was called the Chador, not the Kador.

00:54:16.300 But, yeah, so the emancipation of women was actually one of the reasons why the Islamists and the communists did not like Rizasha. 0.68

00:54:26.760 Because they thought that, you know, the emancipation of women is against Islam. 0.68

00:54:32.220 Right.

00:54:32.580 So they didn't like the fact that Rizal Khan basically, Rizal Khan was, you know, giving women the right to choose how to live their lives.

00:54:42.640 participation in public life under rigid orthodox muslim rule women and girls under reza shah

00:54:49.620 have virtually liberated from their confinement to the house against bitter resistance from large

00:54:54.460 segments of the clergy did you hear that against bitter resistance from large segments of the

00:55:01.600 clergy so it was the islamic clergy shia who had a problem with the fact that reza khan said to

00:55:08.180 women you don't have to wear like you know the islamic chador if you don't want to um the women

00:55:14.280 loved it women were happy like right like women started dressing like normal human beings but

00:55:20.420 the islamic clergy didn't like that it upset them right because it offended their allah or whatever

00:55:25.180 girls studying modern household methods new and healthier nutrition hundreds of new schools are

00:55:34.000 built. For the first time, compulsory government-sponsored primary education. The first

00:55:39.440 Persian university is inaugurated. Numerous young Iranians are sent abroad to study with

00:55:44.860 state financing. In addition to the university's medical faculty, systematic medical training

00:55:50.360 is introduced in the army.

00:55:54.940 Did you hear that? So for the first time since Rizal Shah the Great, this is why we call

00:56:00.320 him Reza Shah the Great, right? Because not only did he build Iran, he laid the foundation for

00:56:06.760 modernizing Iran, he made elementary school mandatory, not just for boys, but for girls, 0.73

00:56:13.440 right? So both boys and girls now had to have education, right? Remember, like, from from the

00:56:21.720 beginning part of the documentary, you saw like, images and videos of Iranian children in squalor, 1.00

00:56:28.740 completely illiterate they didn't go to school right they just had to work the fields right 0.97

00:56:33.640 but when Rizal Shah the Great became became the Shah of Iran he made elementary school 0.88

00:56:41.920 mandatory and that was just the first step by the way it continues on right but do you see how they

00:56:47.020 were modernizing and do you see even right back from the beginning the clergy had a problem the

00:56:52.880 Islamic clergy had a problem with the Shah of Iran saying that girls should go to school and be

00:56:59.640 educated. The Islamic clergy in Iran had a problem with the Shah saying that women don't have to wear

00:57:06.180 the hijab if they don't want to. So you can now see how like even as of the late 1920s, the Islamic 0.98

00:57:14.380 clergy were already seeing the Pahlavi dynasty as an enemy, quote-unquote, you know, an enemy of

00:57:21.700 Islam, because the Pahavi dynasty was modernizing Iran and moving Iran forward.

00:57:27.240 The Islamic clergy didn't like that. 0.98

00:57:40.060 Junker's Plains, the first step towards an Iranian air force. 0.90

00:57:44.540 Along German and French lines, the new Iranian army is being reformed.

00:57:51.700 World War I had proved to the Iranians, the peace-loving people, how badly they needed

00:57:59.480 a strong army for self-defense.

00:58:05.940 From the very beginning, Iran is a member of the League of Nations.

00:58:09.820 Prince Arfa, her delegate, here voting in favor of defeated but now democratic Germany's

00:58:14.340 admittance in 1925.

00:58:16.460 i love the fact that even you know like a hundred years 0.61

00:58:46.460 ago this is how iranian women dressed right so all of those islamist jihadis who say that iran

00:58:53.740 was always a muslim country they they have no idea what they're talking about because this is

00:58:57.980 literally iran a hundred years ago this is how women in iban looked and dressed 100 years ago 0.99

00:59:05.260 you know so you see the boy scouts there um the boy scouts and the girl guides you know had a very

00:59:18.380 very um like strong presence in iran my mom in fact when she was um when she was a child in iran

00:59:25.900 she was part of the girl guides so you know yeah iran even had boy scouts and girl guides

00:59:31.420 prior to the 1979 as long as like revolution like that's how um modernized and you know advanced and

00:59:38.120 secular you were a wrestler oh my gosh listen like did you see the videos of um the the Iranian

00:59:52.120 powerhouse man like Iranian wrestlers are next level like they they are they are top notch like

00:59:58.080 are some of the um even today like like wrestling in iran is a very like very big sport and you know

01:00:05.040 wrestling power lifting um we do have some of the best athletes in the world so uh kudos to you for

01:00:12.480 for for going up against them i hope that uh they didn't injure you too much but uh yeah iranian

01:00:19.040 wrestlers are are something else and you know they they usually rank pretty high in um in

01:00:24.320 international sporting competitions it's just it's just because wrestling is is one of those

01:00:28.320 sort of ancient sports that's you know been a part of iranian culture um for thousands and

01:00:34.640 thousands of years so yeah i i hope i hope i hope you had a good time uh with the wrestling

01:00:39.520 In 1938, a big celebration in Tehran.

01:01:02.400 The parade of the new Iranian forces is watched by the military attachés from Italy, France, Germany.

01:01:09.520 Celebration of a wedding day.

01:01:19.020 Crown Prince Mohammed Reza is married to Princess Fauzi of Egypt,

01:01:22.480 a liaison which will be unsuccessful.

01:01:33.700 Fireworks celebrating the marriage.

01:01:36.000 There will be other fireworks within only one year.

01:01:39.520 war in africa not so far away from iran's frontiers the second world war will have its

01:01:50.700 impact on iran soon

01:01:52.400 so i have a funny personal story about world war ii

01:02:08.700 um so my grandfather god god rest his soul he's passed away now um when my grandfather was a

01:02:15.380 teenager he actually got into like a fight with his parents at the time and then he ran away from

01:02:20.520 home and he joined um the british army during world war ii because i guess there was like you

01:02:26.060 know troops there like there was a battalion or something there he told me this story when i was

01:02:29.500 a child um he ran away and he joined like the british army you know as a rebellious teen

01:02:34.900 and um you know of course he wasn't british so you know they wouldn't take him in uh as like a

01:02:41.520 soldier but apparently he became like a cook a cook for them so you know he actually learned

01:02:48.240 english from the time that he ran away from home um during world war ii and you know joined like

01:02:55.500 a british battalion or something and was cooking for them and then he learned some english words

01:02:59.740 there so there you go yeah just random random story and then he went home we went he went back

01:03:06.240 home after world war ii was over soldiers roosevelt and churchill agree upon the atlantic

01:03:11.740 charter guaranteeing every nation's right to self-determination

01:03:15.580 But in flagrant violation of the provisions of the charter, Iran will soon be made a victim of the big power's conflict.

01:03:35.000 British bombers attack the Iranian fleet and sink most of the ships, causing considerable loss of life.

01:03:46.220 in world war ii the allies saw the persian oil fields in india threatened by the axis powers

01:03:52.060 under hitler by summer 1941 german troops occupied the balkans and were threatening

01:03:59.500 egypt and moving towards the dawn one and a half years later in november 1942

01:04:07.660 the threat was real the germans stood in force on the doorstep of the nile delta

01:04:12.700 and in the Caucasus mountains Reza Shah had declared his country neutral but in August 1941 0.91

01:04:21.980 as they had done in the first world war without forewarning the Russians and the English invaded

01:04:28.060 Iran British troops enter Iran from the south Russians from the north

01:04:42.700 for the british one of the main targets is again the oil as in world war one

01:04:51.400 so british soldiers celebrate the occupation of abaddon

01:05:12.700 soon russian and british units meet in the middle of a sovereign country just like occupation powers

01:05:24.200 the banquet is an anglo-russian affair with no iranians invited

01:05:29.840 officially the capital of tehran is exempt from occupation but in reality very soon it will be a

01:05:41.620 center of foreign activities the German embassy is closed neutral Switzerland for a short while

01:05:51.380 takes over the presence of some 2,000 German nationals in Iran accused by the allies of

01:05:56.940 underground activities had served as a pretext for the occupation

01:06:00.560 the Germans are now interned then deported

01:06:09.680 Reza Shah had established much of Iran's foreign trade with Germany

01:06:13.560 since he had wanted to counteract Russian and British influence

01:06:17.160 now the Shah himself

01:06:26.440 here in his last filmed appearance with two of his sons

01:06:29.380 abdicates and leaves the country yeah so it was it was difficult i mean switzerland was able to

01:06:38.420 remain neutral but again switzerland doesn't really have oil or any of the resources that

01:06:43.320 um the other countries needed so switzerland remained neutral that was fine but you know

01:06:48.380 when iran tried to remain neutral um both the russians and uh and the british didn't like that

01:06:55.780 he will die some years later in south african exile

01:07:02.920 we love you rizal shah

01:07:07.540 as soon as the shah is gone rebellious tribes again engage in their private wars and marauding 0.73

01:07:16.860 activities

01:07:26.460 the true masters for the moment the british and soviet ambassadors are of course interested in

01:07:31.420 the security of their soldiers but not so much in the stability of the government the allies

01:07:36.620 at that time calculated that a weak persian republican government might be easier to handle

01:07:41.260 than the monarch to ensure inner stability the crown prince consequently has to act quickly

01:07:49.420 in parliament muhammad reza within a few days after his father's abdication

01:07:54.140 takes the oath as the new shah under the circumstances it is almost a new coup d'etat

01:07:59.980 what's with this like just like just random use of coup d'etat it's like you get a coup d'etat

01:08:11.020 you get a coup d'etat everyone gets the coup d'etat like they keep on using this word

01:08:15.100 coup d'etat without actually knowing what it means how is it a coup d'etat the the country

01:08:21.040 is the constitutional monarchy um when the king abdicates of course the crown prince

01:08:28.740 assumes the throne that's literally how a monarchy works so i don't understand where this

01:08:34.520 coup d'etat comes in from it's just such a weird thing to say i don't like that i don't like that

01:08:40.000 at all like no one said like no one said that um no one says that about like king charles right

01:08:46.500 like when queen elizabeth passed away and king charles assumed the throne that wasn't a coup

01:08:52.440 d'etat that's how a succession works within a monarchy and that's the exact same thing here so

01:08:58.240 very weird i don't know maybe they're just trying to make it seem more dramatic i have no idea but

01:09:04.200 it's it's very bizarre

01:09:05.440 tehran 1943 this is the city where the wait before we continue so so we just finished um

01:09:30.160 the part about Reza Khan the Great. I just want to share something with you guys to give you an

01:09:38.660 understanding of like how much, how much Iranians actually love, not just the Pan-Nabi dynasty,

01:09:51.680 But how much Iranians actually love Rizal Shah the Great?

01:09:58.880 Guys, so the Islamic Republic has constantly tried to, they constantly tried to smear the Pahnavi dynasty in order to justify the Islamic occupation of Iran.

01:10:16.160 And yet every single time they've done so, it has failed miserably.

01:10:19.900 um a while ago i don't know how long ago but you know at least um like at least over five years ago

01:10:28.000 um the islamic republic came out with this tv series about you know the pahlavis or whatever

01:10:34.300 and the whole thing is like a propaganda piece to try and like um make them look like these

01:10:39.300 dictators and authoritarians or whatever um and then there's this like one scene where israel

01:10:43.980 Shah the Great, supposedly, like, beats up an Islamic regime cleric, like, like, he, they beat

01:10:50.860 up a mullah, right? Like, we call them Ahund in Farsi. So, at one point, like, the, you know, 0.52

01:10:57.440 TV series shows a clip of Riz Asha beating up an Ahund. By the way, it never happened. He never 0.97

01:11:03.140 beat up Islamic clerics. But this is how much Iranians hate the Islamic Republic, and how much 0.99

01:11:09.840 they actually love the Pahavi dynasty. Someone actually took that clip, okay, took that clip, 0.57

01:11:17.200 this person here, Dear Mango, and they edited it. So now there's literally a 10-hour video on

01:11:25.500 YouTube called Reza Shah beating an Ahund for 10 hours straight. It has 49,000 views. And I'm just 0.99

01:11:35.860 going to read some of the comments for you here. Where are the comments here? Wait, where are the

01:11:41.900 comments? Wait, show us. Guys, where are the comments here? Oh, there we go. I like this.

01:11:52.500 Wait. Okay. More transcript license. Okay. I can't find the comments right now. But anyway,

01:12:02.920 let me let me just play this for you so you can get a sense of like how much Iranians

01:12:08.540 love Rizal Shah the Great and how much they actually um hate the dictators

01:12:14.800 and like every time every time that I'm like upset or angry I will literally search this

01:12:25.380 video and I will just watch it because for some reason it's like ASMR for me and it's just like

01:12:31.160 know it makes me feel better so so this guy you know this guy here is supposed to be like this

01:12:42.360 actor is you know reza reza shah the great so apparently he's gonna now like go beat up some

01:12:47.480 again like this never happened right like like reza shah never beat up the islamic clerics

01:12:53.800 um but but the islamic regime made this propaganda piece to try and defame him instead it backfired

01:13:02.920 because every single time the islamic republic tries to put out defamatory propaganda pieces

01:13:09.080 about rizosha the great or muhammad rizosha iranians will just use it and you know

01:13:15.000 they'll just, they'll just make fun of the Islamic Republic and my favorite part 0.93

01:13:43.620 here right like like the islamic republic wants us to think that this evil demonic islamic cleric 0.94

01:13:52.260 is the good guy and riz asha the great is the bad guy right which is a complete opposite like 0.90

01:13:58.180 like this this evil demonic ayatollah is the bad guy and of course rizzo riz asha is the good guy

01:14:13.620 I love what he says, that's my favorite part. 0.92

01:14:22.620 Anyway, it's literally like

01:14:51.700 just 10 hours of this scene on repeat. And one of my favorite videos on YouTube, right? One of my

01:14:58.580 favorite videos, like you can literally look it up. It's Reza Shah, Reza Shah beating an Ahun for 0.98

01:15:04.820 10 hours straight. So if anyone wants to, you know, find it, I'm going to give it a thumbs up 0.99

01:15:08.840 there. So I don't know who Dear Mango is, but whoever that person is, you know, like Dammit 0.99

01:15:16.000 Gam, Dammit Gam, because I swear to God, every single time, yeah, Chelo, you're 100% right, 0.93

01:15:21.440 Like, this is the, this is, it's like this emoji right here, like, off Friday. 0.90

01:15:27.060 So, yeah.

01:15:29.080 There you go, guys.

01:15:30.380 You can find it on YouTube.

01:15:31.840 You can find it on YouTube. 1.00

01:15:33.760 Reza shop beating an ochund for 10 hours straight. 1.00

01:15:36.500 It's there. 1.00

01:15:38.180 All right.

01:15:39.080 Anyways, we're going to go back to our regularly scheduled program now.

01:15:44.060 But, yeah, I love that clip.

01:15:45.860 Conference of the Big Three will take place.

01:15:48.140 a conference decisive for the fate of the post-war world.

01:15:57.400 Strangely enough, the Russian embassy was to be the home for America's President Roosevelt,

01:16:02.500 as well as for Stalin, while Churchill was living in the British legation.

01:16:08.280 Toward the end of 1943, the big three are, of course, preoccupied with the big decisions

01:16:13.620 which would determine their future mutual relationship.

01:16:18.140 In commemoration of the Battle of Stalingrad, a sword of honor is presented by Churchill to Stalin.

01:16:30.140 At that time, quite a few of the British military leaders are convinced that the Battle of Stalingrad not only saved Russia from defeat, but also Iran from a German invasion.

01:16:48.140 Three cheers for Churchill, who celebrates his birthday while in Tehran.

01:16:52.980 A fur cap and other souvenirs of Iranian handicrafts.

01:16:56.220 I did not know that Winston Churchill celebrated one of his birthdays in Tehran.

01:17:01.300 Wow, learn something new every day.

01:17:02.680 A tribute from a country whose interests were for the greater part neglected by the occupying powers.

01:17:18.140 okay so you you see that frame there okay i i guarantee you every single iranian in the world

01:17:26.520 pretty much has like at least one frame like that in their house like it's just such like a

01:17:33.640 it's such like an iranian thing like we all have at least one of these frames with like the typical

01:17:39.980 like iranian design right it's like it's similar to how like we all have um like one of these you

01:17:46.900 know it's not a blanket but yeah i guess like one of these like blanket style you know iranian

01:17:53.520 style blankets that are how homes too like it's just like the the quintessential iranian thing to 0.93

01:17:58.900 have mohammed raza shah meets churchill and roosevelt and stalin owing to mohammed raza's

01:18:10.320 successful negotiations the independence sovereignty and territorial integrity of iran

01:18:17.280 is finally recognized by the allies in a solemn declaration meanwhile an american contingent of

01:18:23.520 30 000 technicians in uniform had joined the british and the soviets on iranian territory

01:18:28.960 But at least the Americans, visited here by their president, had not come as invaders.

01:18:51.340 In addition to Iran's oil fields, the Allies had another important concern.

01:18:56.960 Russia badly needed weapons and supplies for the war against the Germans.

01:19:01.060 But most of her coastline was blocked by winter ice,

01:19:04.220 and her few ice-free ports were threatened by German submarines.

01:19:07.940 So the route through Iran was very inviting for the supplies, which eventually saved Russia.

01:19:14.200 In a study for Hitler, the German General Staff states that all British or American

01:19:29.020 war material which reaches Russia by way of the Near East is extremely disadvantageous

01:19:34.320 to our land offensive.

01:19:38.160 British and American planes are sent to the Soviet Union in large numbers.

01:19:42.340 Out of 14,834 American planes, one-third are delivered via the Persian Gulf.

01:19:56.680 Around half a million trucks reach the USSR, of which nearly 50 percent come via Iran.

01:20:03.100 Eighty-eight percent of these are assembled in Iranian workshops. 0.82

01:20:07.020 Later, Iran herself declares war on Hitler.

01:20:15.100 Yeah, the one thing also they don't mention, I mean, I don't know if they're going to mention this or not,

01:20:19.700 but during World War II, Iran actually took in, I think, like 160,000 Polish refugees,

01:20:29.780 many of whom were Jewish as well.

01:20:32.840 So a lot of Jews in Europe who were fleeing from the Holocaust actually came to Iran and then eventually from Iran had safe passage to Israel.

01:20:44.640 I don't know if this is going to get into that, but I just wanted to point that out as well.

01:20:48.240 Iran's Iranian railway hauled three out of every five tons of supply delivered through the corridor to Soviet receiving points.

01:20:56.240 Irony of history. 0.65

01:20:57.920 Reza Shah forged in the Iranian railway, a powerful weapon against the very Germans whose friendship hastened the wartime occupation and his abdication. 0.60

01:21:07.540 The American deliveries alone are sufficient to maintain 60 divisions in the line.

01:21:12.100 So Iran, one of the main keys to the Allied success, is called the bridge of victory.

01:21:18.240 whoa look at that you never hear about that in world war ii narratives you never hear about the

01:21:24.560 bridge of victory which was iran one of the key aspects of of beating hitler no one ever speaks

01:21:30.960 about that

01:21:53.120 iran in the meantime suffers heavily from the effects of the occupation shortage of goods and

01:21:58.480 the relative wealth of the foreign troops drive prices up 400 percent in two and a half years

01:22:04.960 in their declaration of 1943 the big three have promised economic assistance

01:22:10.000 but during the war iran is the last on their list for help 0.99

01:22:17.120 and there are not only the foreign soldiers tens of thousands of polish refugees from hitler's

01:22:22.240 invasion have come to iran via the so i just mentioned that i just mentioned the polish

01:22:27.360 polish refugees soviet union they too have to be fed the allies help but so do the iranians

01:22:33.760 who themselves are short of everything do you see like even though the country was

01:22:41.520 undergoing a shortage of food and resources they still took in

01:22:46.160 tens of thousands of refugees from poland and fed them all right

01:22:51.360 a polish iranian festival in tehran quite a number of these polish refugees will stay in

01:23:03.800 iran even after the war i love that i love that there was a polish iranian um like celebration

01:23:12.360 during world war ii i love that you know what i've always wanted to visit poland poland is such an

01:23:18.560 amazing country i love the culture i love the people i'd love to visit at some point

01:23:22.920 we're into marriage still today there is quite a large polish element particularly in tehran

01:23:42.360 again like guys this is what our society was prior to like islam and sharia law taking over

01:23:52.460 in 1979 so keep that in mind guys right keep that iran was hospitable it was welcoming everyone

01:23:59.180 could come regardless of ethnicity or background or religion or whatever right like this is in the

01:24:04.960 1940s guys this is in the 1940s okay so yeah like that's what iran was and then islam and sharia law 0.89

01:24:13.280 cave and turned the country into into a seventh century islamic hellhole right this is what we

01:24:19.720 were before this is the true iran this is the real iran this is who we are as a nation and a culture 1.00

01:24:26.140 and people and this is what we are currently fighting to reclaim right we want to go back

01:24:32.620 to what we used to be before Sharia law and Islam took over. 0.99

01:24:41.840 The greater part, however, will leave very soon

01:24:44.720 as members of the Polish Brigade recruited in Iran for fighting Hitler.

01:24:53.880 What can be saved of Reza Shah's heritage under the occupation?

01:24:58.100 With most of the power in the hands of the foreign forces, 0.94

01:25:00.540 what influence is left for the Shah. 0.96

01:25:17.660 In those days, Muhammad Reza Shah takes advantage of the unique role of the Americans

01:25:22.480 who had not invaded Iran and had no imperialist past there, as had the Russians and English.

01:25:28.900 Those war years mark the beginning of a close American-Iranian relationship.

01:25:34.260 Right, so again, the entire narrative that the Shah was a puppet of the West, he was a puppet of America, it's 100% nonsense.

01:25:47.280 It's just this fake news, taqiyya, Islamic propaganda that the Islamic clergy and communists, right, the anti-imperialists, they have imposed on the Shah in order to legitimize them taking Iran and turning into a 7th century Islamic hellhole governed by Sharia law.

01:26:11.360 As you can tell, even this documentary said, there was no, you know, when the Americans came, it was just friendship right from the beginning.

01:26:22.920 And so the allyship and the friendship between Iranians and Americans was actually forged during World War II.

01:26:34.060 That's where the allyship began.

01:26:37.060 Pay attention, guys.

01:26:41.360 in 1944 when the united nations is founded again iran as in the case of the league of nations

01:27:05.200 is among the first members but again as with the league of nations she is deceived with her high

01:27:11.120 expectations you have created a great instrument for peace and security and human progress in the

01:27:22.880 world the world must now use it with this charter the world can begin to look forward to the time

01:27:32.480 when all worthy human beings

01:27:35.120 may be permitted to live decently

01:27:36.860 as free people.

01:27:39.060 This new structure of peace

01:27:41.060 is rising upon strong foundations.

01:27:45.440 Let us not fail to grasp

01:27:47.280 this supreme chance

01:27:49.600 to establish a worldwide rule of reason

01:27:53.500 to create an enduring peace

01:27:57.140 under the guidance of God.

01:28:02.480 but this i just want to point out the united nations back then might have been good but today

01:28:10.640 the united nations is completely corrupt i'm actually working um on an episode uh you know

01:28:17.360 for my my daily live stream like my regular live stream which goes live at 12 noon eastern monday

01:28:22.880 to friday um i actually am going to be speaking about how the united nations has currently become 0.77

01:28:30.080 corrupt and it's basically just a mouthpiece for communists and islamists unfortunately so the

01:28:35.600 united nations today is not the united nations of 1944 when it was founded enduring peace is 0.92

01:28:42.640 first endangered in the case of iran while the soviets here in tabris are celebrating the

01:28:51.360 anniversary of their revolution stalin refuses to evacuate their zone despite a 1942 treaty

01:28:57.680 providing for withdrawal of all foreign troops six months after ceasefire

01:29:05.840 iran's prime minister intimidated by soviet threats gives in to

01:29:11.520 guys just want to point out so for all of those you know non-iranians who pretend they're an

01:29:18.800 expert on iran and you know they talk about mustadik being the prime minister democratically elected

01:29:25.760 prime minister here is one of the iranian prime ministers from the 1940s so again these people

01:29:33.040 who talk about this so-called coup or whatever literally have no concept or understanding

01:29:40.400 of iranian politics or the fact that iran had prime ministers before and after most that dip

01:29:47.040 and actually did a live stream about um you know debunking the the whole coup right and i'm sure

01:29:54.960 sure this documentary is going to get into it as well but i did a live stream as well

01:29:58.360 debunking the whole 1953 narrative you know coup whatever nonsense that the islamists and communists

01:30:05.440 put out there it's in the same playlist as this one you can go find it just you know look for

01:30:09.720 in my playlist and you'll find it there and i like we go through it extensively um and we gave

01:30:16.580 that we gave that documentary i think we gave it a 10 out of 10 guys we gave that one a 10 out of

01:30:21.820 because it was very very good all the tops demands in moscow oil concessions and approval

01:30:27.500 of a friendly government in iran's province of ezeboidjan which means a communist government

01:30:37.980 but at home in tehran parliament refuses to ratify the moscow agreement

01:30:42.540 and the shah orders his united nations delegate to submit the matter to the security council

01:30:47.900 first case of the cold war between east and west

01:30:57.260 between the iranian government and the government of the soviet union

01:31:02.700 it has been agreed that the red army evacuate all persian territory by the 6th may 1946.

01:31:11.420 um major says the un was never not corrupt the last five minutes of the lord of war movie is the

01:31:23.780 absolute truth and always has been it's a feature not a bug yeah i mean you make a very good point

01:31:30.720 there i mean we all had high hopes for for the un but uh you know i i just those those globalist

01:31:40.140 powers, they have taken the agenda too far, right? Like for me, the purpose of the UN should really

01:31:50.260 be to just, you know, be there to prevent wars and also be there to step in when you see wars

01:31:58.780 or genocide happening. And the function has become the complete opposite. So yeah, I have little

01:32:04.420 faith in the un um you know i think the un should be completely defunded especially since a lot of

01:32:10.980 the money that you know taxpayers pay that goes to the un is actually going to fund terrorism it

01:32:18.420 goes to fund islamic terrorism like it goes literally into the pockets of like

01:32:22.820 hamas and hezbollah so yeah like i i think the un should be defunded completely

01:32:27.380 rumiko surprised by the shah's unexpected intervention through his delegate

01:32:33.520 and confronted with stern resistance from iran and the u.s finally has to agree to

01:32:39.040 soviet withdrawal from azerbaijan

01:32:40.960 so guys i hope you're seeing the pattern here because earlier on in the documentary right like

01:32:54.680 Before the Pahlavi dynasty came to power, in the, like, 1910s, Moscow tried to overthrow the Shah.

01:33:06.760 You know, he was a Qajar Shah with a different Qajar Shah.

01:33:10.680 That didn't work, right?

01:33:12.820 And then, again, Moscow interfered during World War I.

01:33:16.840 And now again, you're seeing another example of Russian interference where the Russians were trying to push communism into Iran because the communists, you know, the Soviets have always tried to, they've always wanted control of Iran and Iran's resources.

01:33:35.520 this and you know unfortunately you know after like almost two two centuries of of effort they

01:33:43.080 were successful in 1979 right because the 1979 Islamic Revolution was actually funded by the

01:33:49.940 Soviets and there's a reason that after the 1979 Islamic Revolution the Islamic Republic became a

01:33:56.620 huge ally of Russia even to this day where the Islamic Republic is literally selling oil 0.86

01:34:03.740 um and drones and like military equipment to the soviets to fund their war against ukraine so keep

01:34:10.400 that in mind guys this you know this russian interference um happening for a long time

01:34:16.000 unfortunately they were successful in 1979

01:34:19.460 sorry i saw in the comments yeah like like jimmy carter 100 percent is 0.97

01:34:33.560 at fault as well jimmy carter was such an idiot that he thought that the ayatollah you know just 0.97

01:34:39.560 because the ayatollah so-called you know wasn't a communist that um they would be able to control 0.99

01:34:46.120 the ayatollah but the ayatollah was actually funded by the soviets right so it all goes back 0.99

01:34:51.560 to the soviets and jimmy carter was such an idiot that he fell for the russian disinformation and 0.97

01:34:56.680 propaganda mr president any sovereign state the foreign troops are continuing to remain 0.98

01:35:06.120 in its territory without its consent beyond the date authorized by treaty such complaints

01:35:16.440 present grave issues under article 2 of section 4 of the charter of the united nations as to the

01:35:25.080 quote the threat or the use of force against the territorial integrity or the political

01:35:33.800 independence of any state or in any other manner inconsistent with the purposes of the charter

01:35:43.000 when the soviets evacuate as a boy john they leave behind a communist puppet regime

01:35:48.200 which declares iran's northwestern province independent yet this regime is overthrown 0.58

01:35:53.720 as soon as the red army is gone finally the iranians are again masters in their own house

01:36:00.920 but since during the war the occupying powers had enforced priority number one for their interest

01:36:06.360 iran's economy is in terrible condition nothing could be done in all these war

01:36:11.560 years to develop the country on the contrary it had been bled white so iran is poorer than ever 0.75

01:36:23.720 After reestablishment of central power, Iran must regain international respect, first steps

01:36:38.740 to that goal where even a poor country can compete in the field of sports. Apart from

01:36:44.340 their favorite traditional pastime, polo, the Iranians are preparing themselves for

01:36:48.600 first olympic games after the war they'll be extraordinarily successful in weightlifting

01:36:54.280 and wrestling oh where where's our wrestling where's our wrestling fan in the comments here

01:37:02.120 see wrestling is one of those ancient um iranian sports that's just part of our culture and heritage

01:37:08.920 so of course iranians are going to be good at wrestling in the olympics right it's just

01:37:13.160 It's just, it's part of our heritage.

01:37:19.380 I'm not a good wrestler, no, John.

01:37:22.040 I'm not a good wrestler, although I do love weightlifting.

01:37:25.920 So I'm a big fan of CrossFit, and I do enjoy powerlifting.

01:37:32.860 Mohamed Reza Shah himself visits the London Games of 1948

01:37:37.040 to demonstrate Iran's presence.

01:37:43.160 peace pigeons but can there be real peace in a world facing so sharp a contrast between the poor

01:37:58.640 and the rich one year after that visit to london the first attempt on the shah's life is made

01:38:04.640 so this is the first documentary we have seen where they've actually brought up uh the the

01:38:12.540 the attempted assassination let's see if they're going to mention who attempted the assassination

01:38:18.220 i have a feeling they might not um but it was the communists right it was the soviet funded

01:38:24.100 two-day party um who attempted the assassination against the shah because they wanted to uh take 0.59

01:38:32.100 over you know take over the country and bring it under the iron curtain so this this uh

01:38:37.700 assassination was funded by the soviets at the time he very narrowly escapes death behind that

01:38:43.140 attempt is an alliance of the extreme right and the extreme left reactionaries and communists

01:38:49.060 in the following years four more such attempts will be made

01:38:52.260 in the first years of the united guys am i good or am i good it's like i really should make i

01:39:04.960 really should make my own documentary about um like iranian history especially you know in the

01:39:11.700 20th century because i could like at this point i could just like recite it off the back you know

01:39:16.600 i could just recite it all and it's like i watch documentaries and i know exactly where they're

01:39:22.060 going so there you go like i called it with that one too nation's existence much is expected from

01:39:27.260 this organization so the shah pays a visit to the world forum to plead for his country

01:39:52.060 This plenary session of the General Assembly is now in order.

01:40:14.060 Gentlemen, His Imperial Majesty, Mohammed Reza Shah Pallavi, Shahin Shah of Iran.

01:40:25.060 I love you, Jagid Shah.

01:40:44.060 I accept your greeting on behalf of the nation which I represent.

01:40:52.060 Not one of the largest countries in the world, it is true, but one of the oldest

01:41:00.060 and one of the most persistent in honoring all that pertains to the elevation of the human spirit.

01:41:12.060 Here, in this assembly of the United Nations, whether large or small, powerful or weak, countries should meet as equals.

01:41:30.100 Without peace, the smaller countries can make no advance in their efforts to attain high living standards and social justice. 0.97

01:41:39.300 it blows my mind to this day that the communists and the islamists still try to claim

01:41:46.420 that the shah of iran was a so-called dictator right like it's the the smear campaign

01:41:54.080 is actually disgusting when you when you look at the history of this man when you look at what he

01:41:59.460 has done for iran when you listen to his speeches you realize and you understand how far these 1.00

01:42:06.800 islamists and these communists are willing to lie in order to justify turning iran into a 7th 0.96

01:42:13.920 century islamic hellhole governed by sharia law shame on them far and shame on them with peace 0.92

01:42:21.680 we can do all for iran this is not an abstraction we want to use it to further our domestic progress 0.95

01:42:31.360 Therefore, speaking in behalf of one of the smaller countries, I make this appeal.

01:42:40.860 Do not fail us.

01:42:43.160 Give us the future.

01:42:44.160 Give us the inner assurance of peace.

01:42:48.600 Assure us of our freedom and our independence in which we can contribute to the progress

01:42:54.220 of civilization, each land according to its national culture and tradition.

01:43:00.760 Great us, great countries and small, compete with each other only in the fields of peaceful

01:43:09.000 achievement.

01:43:10.000 Then, but not until then, will mankind, released from fear, live in a brighter, happier world. 0.74

01:43:22.880 The Shah's appeal, though welcomed emphatically by world opinion, 0.92

01:43:30.580 does not help very much. United States aid at that time remains negligible. For the most

01:43:36.380 part, Iran is left alone with her problems. The country does possess natural riches which

01:43:44.900 could help to develop Persia. But Iran's oil is being exploited by others. It is the British

01:43:51.100 who get the lion's share of the huge oil profits and who refuse for a long time to grant a

01:43:55.820 greater share to the country from whose soil this wealth is extracted in this situation demagogues

01:44:06.860 are ready at hand the then prime minister propagates nationalization of the oil industry

01:44:12.060 expropriation of the foreign companies no more concessions for any foreigner iran must do

01:44:17.660 everything on her own. The architect of this radical policy, Prime Minister

01:44:27.800 Mossadegh. When the British do not agree, he stops oil production. But Iran at this

01:44:33.080 time has not yet the means to sell the oil on her own. Without the oil revenues,

01:44:37.820 the state is soon bankrupt. While British technicians and their families leave the

01:44:43.980 country america's special ambassador harryman as an intermediary tries to settle the dispute

01:45:00.300 they don't mention that most idea was um a russian asset but maybe maybe they'll mention

01:45:05.900 it further down because they just kind of like throw musad dip in there um without

01:45:11.020 But I should explain what happened there.

01:45:27.160 But Mossadegh refuses any compromise.

01:45:29.780 He adheres stubbornly to his policy of all or nothing.

01:45:33.740 Harriman's mission in Tehran fails.

01:45:39.080 a wave of nationalist emotions with a strict they failed to mention most

01:45:43.720 ideas policy of all or nothing was because he wanted to take control of

01:45:50.440 all of the app

01:45:55.400 uh-oh is my stream gone

01:46:04.200 am i gone

01:46:09.080 Wait, what?

01:46:39.080 Well, apparently, my live stream went down on YouTube once again, as typically happens

01:47:03.420 because I get attacked, so, am I back, can you guys see me now, alright, okay,

01:47:33.420 um I don't know let's see let's see what happens here guys we will we will continue

01:47:42.780 we'll continue because um what I'm doing is allowed it's called you know commentary so

01:47:52.260 let's continue with uh with this documentary now that um now that we're back all right guys let's

01:48:01.440 let's see how long we'll last here and you know it's wild to me it's absolutely wild to me

01:48:07.200 that like literally old footage right which is publicly available everywhere is you know being

01:48:14.560 claimed as copyright or something very weird but um we're gonna soldier on guys we're gonna soldier

01:48:21.880 on press censorship imposed by mosaday the voice of reason has no chance parliament back

01:48:28.220 Do you guys also, do you guys always notice, whenever we get to Mossadegh, that's when, like, the bots kick in.

01:48:36.120 It's so bizarre. It's always around the time we get to Mossadegh, right? It's so bizarre.

01:48:41.340 Mossadegh's policy.

01:48:42.940 The British-Iranian case is submitted to the United Nations as well as to the International Court in The Hague.

01:48:48.980 But Mossadegh's arguments do not impress the international authorities too much.

01:48:53.700 Direct negotiations are recommended between Britain and Iran.

01:48:57.000 yeah of course it failed because it was like a soviet you know soviet policy he wanted to impose

01:49:08.040 soviet rule on on iran

01:49:13.640 backed by the extreme left the communist oriented today party and the extreme right most okay so

01:49:20.680 there's one mistake, one mistake they make here. Okay. Wait, am I back? What's going on here?

01:49:36.240 Can you guys see me?

01:49:37.400 okay you guys can see me all right okay just want to make sure just want to make sure so

01:49:53.880 one thing they did not mention here okay they said that this is the you know far left far left back

01:50:03.240 um far left backed party or whatever um it was actually he was backed by the soviets

01:50:11.400 so i don't like this part i don't like this part guys um let me go back a few seconds

01:50:16.480 let me go back 10 seconds fails

01:50:19.340 back by the extreme left the communist oriented today party and the extreme

01:50:29.540 So they say backed by the extreme left, the communist-oriented Tudeh Party. It wasn't communist-oriented. The Tudeh Party was actually founded in Moscow and it was funded by the Russians, by the Soviets, right?

01:50:48.160 So the two-day party in Iran, anyone who's a member of the two-day party, we actually consider them traitors because the two-day party is not an organic party in Iran.

01:51:00.120 It was literally created by the Soviets as an attempt to bring Iran under the Iron Curtain and turn Iran into a proxy of the USSR in the 40s and 50s.

01:51:16.480 And what they don't mention when he says the extreme right, right? 0.91

01:51:24.620 The extreme right, that's the Islamic clergy. 0.88

01:51:28.200 So these riots and unrest that you're about to see in Iran in the 1950s, right? 0.68

01:51:35.160 You know, the so-called like coup or coup d'etat or whatever that the people put out there.

01:51:42.480 Wait, is my stream unavailable?

01:51:44.720 guys you have to refresh if you're not seeing the stream and you're on youtube refresh because it's

01:51:53.400 back um anyways so the the unrest that you're about to see okay the unrest you're about to see

01:52:02.940 um happening in the 1950s the documentary like he just said it was it was organized by

01:52:10.760 Mossaddiq. Mossaddiq was a Russian asset. He was funded by the Soviets. And then when they talk

01:52:18.940 about the extreme right, the extreme right, those are the Islamic clergy. So the unrest, 0.88

01:52:26.480 it was not organic. It was not the Iranian people. It was the communists and it was the Islamists,

01:52:33.380 right? So this is the context for what you're about to see happening in like 1953.

01:52:39.300 Their aim, to overthrow the Shah, who has decided to dismiss his prime minister, whose policy he feels is disastrous for the country.

01:52:52.220 And the fact that the Shah dismissed Mossadir, that is within the constitutional powers of the Shah.

01:53:01.160 The Shah appoints the prime minister, the Shah can remove the prime minister and appoint someone else. 0.74

01:53:07.520 So the reason the Shah removed Mossadir is because Mossadir was working for the Soviets.

01:53:14.240 He was trying to take control of the country.

01:53:16.560 He also tried to suspend the parliament, right? 0.91

01:53:20.900 So the Shah got rid of him, as he should.

01:53:23.220 That's the purpose of the Shah, to protect the country. 0.99

01:53:26.200 And the people you see protesting, they're not regular Iranians. 0.94

01:53:29.820 These are the communists who are paid by the Russians. 0.80

01:53:33.160 Does this remind you of what you're seeing currently in Western countries, right? 0.66

01:53:38.820 All of these jihadi Islamists and the, you know, Antifa communist people who are joining together for like the pro-Balistine, you know, pro-Hamas demonstrations and rallies. 0.53

01:53:51.500 We've already seen this in Iran in the 1950s. 0.56

01:53:54.580 For a short time, it seems as if this rebellion directed by the Prime Minister against the monarch is successful.

01:54:08.440 But when opposition papers manage to publish the news that Mossadegh has been dismissed,

01:54:13.300 a fact which until then was kept secret by the Premier, the wave rolls back.

01:54:18.560 Demonstrations in favor of the Shah, in which the military joins too,

01:54:22.560 although Mossadegh had recently removed many high-ranking officers loyal to the Shah.

01:54:27.960 Right? So Mossadegh had already tried to take control of the military.

01:54:31.980 He removed a bunch of officers, even though he didn't have the constitutional authority to do so.

01:54:37.360 He still did. 0.87

01:54:38.100 But yet, as soon as the Shah dismissed Mossadegh, Iranian people came out and they cheered, 0.71

01:54:44.380 because they loved the Shah. They loved the Pahmadi family.

01:54:48.180 Mossadegh is like a nothing. Mossadegh is like a cockroach compared to 0.98

01:54:51.680 to the love that the Iranian people have 0.75

01:54:54.200 for the Pahlavi dynasty.

01:54:56.440 What? I'm gone again?

01:55:19.320 Alright, so apparently

01:55:21.160 my live stream went down on YouTube. So apparently YouTube does not like me talking about

01:55:31.060 Moustache. So what we're going to do, because I know a lot of people are watching, um, on X.

01:55:37.480 So I'm going to, I'm going to end the live stream here and we're going to continue, um, the live

01:55:45.600 stream tomorrow um starting here and i'm probably going to move a little bit forward

01:55:52.000 um let me just put a message here

01:56:01.600 all right so i'm gonna restart or i'm gonna finish playing the documentary tomorrow evening

01:56:07.040 so for those of you who um have been watching so far i hope you've enjoyed the the documentary so

01:56:13.760 far we are at the 50 minute mark and i guess for some reason youtube does not like me talking about

01:56:21.200 musad dip right so let me just put a message here for people following on youtube

01:56:33.920 and i will see you all tomorrow

01:56:35.920 so far it's been a very interesting documentary guys all right for those of you watching me on

01:56:46.260 twitter thank you for joining um make sure that you also like and subscribe to my channel on

01:56:52.060 youtube to help my youtube channel grow and oh wait am i back oh wait people people on youtube

01:57:00.060 are telling me that I'm back. Am I back? Okay. Apparently I'm back. Apparently I'm back.

01:57:14.660 Oh my gosh. Okay. Okay. I'm back. All right, guys. I'm going to try and, well,

01:57:29.060 I am on Twitter but okay let me continue um let me see if I can just like get through the Mossad

01:57:40.500 dip part here maybe maybe the issue is just talking about Mossad dip I don't know if Washington

01:57:47.640 expressed open sympathy for the Shah remaining in power the today party was helped secretly but

01:57:53.420 very efficiently by moscow okay so i so that that's important right so the two-day party

01:58:00.300 most attack was part of the two-day party um he was you know he was um

01:58:08.380 he was funded by moscow guys so i i am streaming this on x but um there's no conversation on x

01:58:16.540 right so so people are the only you know people who watch on x are those who aren't necessarily

01:58:21.340 able to join the conversation um on youtube and like i don't see i don't see the comments on x

01:58:28.300 so if you go to x and you comment there i don't see what you're posting so that's why i'm trying

01:58:33.180 to get people to to come to youtube um but anyway so at least at least this documentary mentioned

01:58:39.660 and that Mossadegh was funded by the Soviets, right?

01:58:49.620 Let's see if we can get through this one.

01:58:53.160 Mossadegh's house from which he had fled through the back entrance

01:58:56.020 only to be captured within one day.

01:59:01.940 Mossadegh's trial for high treason.

01:59:04.180 He had always been sick and made a show of the sickness

01:59:07.160 at every suitable occasion.

01:59:08.460 the guy was never sick he was faking it he was faking his sickness all right i just i want to

01:59:13.520 like get through this part but the old system of concessions definitely is abolished for the

01:59:20.100 first time in her modern history iran is now sovereign in every field okay

01:59:26.120 so we just like we skipped through the moustad death part because apparently youtube

01:59:33.220 doesn't like me pointing out that the whole narrative about the 1950 1953 coup is a lie

01:59:39.980 but anyways we got over that so we're good we can comment on the rest of it and you know they

01:59:46.880 gave a pretty accurate um depiction of what happened what again

01:59:54.480 Should I wait, guys?

02:00:11.960 I mean, this is crazy.

02:00:14.800 It's literally the name.

02:00:21.580 Wow.

02:00:24.480 Thank you.

02:00:54.460 M word. Right. I can't say the M word here because the stream, like whenever I speak about M and whenever I point out the false narrative about M.

02:01:16.940 OK, I'm back now. This is wild. This is this is so bizarre.

02:01:24.460 okay

02:01:32.700 i think i'm back

02:01:36.700 okay

02:01:43.400 okay okay

02:01:47.340 this this is an adventure people this is an adventure like i don't know i mean

02:01:58.300 like this is literally videos um from like the 1940s well now now now we're in the 1950s

02:02:08.220 and um wow okay this is uh this is very interesting okay so

02:02:17.340 Okay, guys, so we are at the 53 mark right now, 53-minute mark for this documentary.

02:02:27.500 I think I'm going to stop the documentary here, and let's finish watching the second half of it tomorrow night,

02:02:38.140 because I feel like, I don't know, I don't know, like, obviously, there's a target on my back right now.

02:02:53.600 a clean break a fresh start um and yeah we'll we'll finish the the second half tomorrow night

02:03:00.720 and uh but but so far for this documentary as of right now I'm giving this um a nine out of ten

02:03:09.940 The only reason I'm giving it a 9 is because they referred to Muhammad Reza Shah taking the throne as a coup d'etat, even though it wasn't.

02:03:21.540 And then they also referred to Reza Shah the Great as a coup, even though that wasn't either.

02:03:29.380 So yeah, but I'm at a 9 right now, 9 out of 10.
