🇬🇧🇮🇷🇺🇸Pahlavi Dynasty: British Manipulation and Iranian Betrayal Reports confirm Britain's instrumental, albeit indirect, role in the rise of Reza Shah Pahlavi. British support, including arms and strategic enablement, facilitated his ascent from Cossack officer to monarch, supplanting the Qajar dynasty. The Pahlavi dynasty's reign involved significant concessions to foreign powers, particularly regarding Iranian oil. The 1901 D'Arcy Agreement and the subsequent 1954 Consortium Agreement highlight the extent of British and American control over Iran's resources. The 1953 MI6/CIA-backed coup against democratically elected PM Mossadegh underscores the dynasty's reliance on foreign intervention. Granting US military personnel diplomatic immunity further eroded Iranian sovereignty. A Pahlavi prince now seeks change, yet his family's history is rooted in foreign influence and the betrayal of Iranian interests. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel
