Ku dhammee weedhan soo socota: Sannadkii 1978, qalalaasaha siyaasadeed wuxuu noqday kacdoon dadweyne oo horseeday in la rido boqortooyada. Xasuuqii ka dhacay fagaaraha Jaleh, halkaas oo ciidamadiisu ay ku dileen kuna dhaawaceen tobanaan dibadbaxayaal ah;
Cinema Rex dab, weerar gubasho ah oo si weyn laakiin si qaldan loogu eedeeyay SAVAK ee Abadan; ka baxsiga iyo fallaagada ciidamada qalabka sida; Mudaaharaadyadii Muharram ee in ka badan 5 milyan oo Iiraan ah; iyo kulan ay la yeesheen hoggaamiyeyaasha reer galbeedka oo uu Shah dareemay inay tahay ka laabashada taageeradooda, ayaa ka dhigay booskiisa Iran mid aan la adkeysan karin. Wuxuu dalka Iiraan uga tagay dalka dibadiisa 17kii Janaayo 1979. Inkastoo Shah uu u sheegay dadka reer galbeedka in uu door biday in uu ka tago halkii uu ku toogan lahaa dadkiisa, ciidamadiisu waxay dileen dad badan oo mudaaharaadayaal ah oo aan rabshad lahayn, iyadoo tirada guud ee dadka la dilay intii lagu jiray kacaanka ay u dhaxeysay 2,000 (tirada reer galbeedka) ilaa 60,000 (tirada Jamhuuriyadda Islaamiga ah ee Iran). Muddo yar kadib, boqortooyadii Iiraan ayaa si rasmi ah loo tirtiray, waxaana Iiraan looga dhawaaqay jamhuuriyad Islaami ah oo uu hogaamiyo Ruhollah Khomeini. Shaah wuxuu ku dhintay dalka Masar, halkaas oo madaxweynihii dalkaas, Anwar Sadat, uu magangalyo ka helay.
