Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was the last Shah of Iran, ruling from 1941 until his overthrow during the 1979 Islamic Revolution. His regime was characterized by Westernization and modernization efforts, but also faced criticism for authoritarianism and human rights abuses. His pro-U.S. stance and close ties with Western powers contributed to widespread discontent, ultimately leading to his exile in January 1979.
