In 1979, King (Shah) Mohammad Reza PAHLAVI left Iran, and He said to reporters that He was leaving Iran because He did not want anymore bloodshed in His beloved country. Now, it does make sense what He was telling us. Just rewind clock of history in Iran, it was during World War II, Russia and England invaded Iran, even Iran declared itself a neutral country, Russia and England careless about Iran's position, and invaded Iran, and began to plundering Iran's oil for their war machinery. King Reza PAHLAVI abdicated from His Throne because Russia and England did resented King Reza PAHLAVI due to His modernization plan for Iran, making Iran a nation-state, as He moved Iran from a conservative base on religion (theology) state and society to a rational and a secular state.
The above superpowers and other ones were thinking that by allowing young princes Mohammad Reza PAHLAVI to ascend to throne, it would be easy to manipulate Him, as well as, preventing Iran from progress. However, the Western powers were wrong, King Reza PAHLAVI continued with His version of modernization of Iran, as it became glorified during celebration of 2500 ceremony in Iran, and Iran indeed moved from a conservative wisdom to a norm and liberal minded society.
The Western power like England, France, and US were not please with King Mohammad Reza PAHLAVI's agenda for Iran. It was during Jimmy CARTER's presidency as he ignited fire in Iran, and besmirched the legal system in Iran to be in violation of human rights. The legal system improved its standard in order to meet Red Cross, as well as, the united Nations recommendation. However, the US did not stop interfering in Iran's domestic affairs, CARTER continually pushing agenda of human rights in Iran. King Mohammad Reza PAHLAVI left Iran in peace.
Now, looking at North Africa and, particularly, Gaddafi's incident as NATO special forces were roaming around the Libya to topple the regime in Libya it would happened in Iran. Consequently, King Mohammad Reza PAHLAVI left Iran in order to stop the bloodshed. Otherwise, the US would launch massive air and ground attack on Iran under elusive banner of freedom for Iran.
Thanks God that King Mohammad Reza PAHLAVI was a savvy person, and He did not have ego but a rational mind to save His country from further bloodshed. His Soul Always be Happy in Paradise.
