Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi ascended the Peacock Throne because, during WWII, England and Russia invaded Iran under the pretext that Reza Shah Pahlavi collaborated with Nazi Germany. However, the Western media are persistently claiming Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi installed it in power due to the 1953 Coup in Iran.
Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi modernized Iran from all facets of life. The cleric faction stood against his modernity and progress—the left groups engaged in arms struggle against the regime. The Western media depicted the King as an evil force. Now, the clerics are murdering people, and the Western media is portraying the cleric leaders whose hands tainted in the blood of people as pragmatic leaders.
