Notes on Iranian Political Figures

The modern period in Iran has been dominated by two main personalities, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi often called the Shah and the Ayatollah Khomeini who is often called the Ayatollah or the Imam.

I shall try to speak of things as they are and not as how I wish them to be. If Iran has a theocracy then it should be Iran's choice. Foreigners should respect the wishes of the people and never try to impose their own ideology.
