The shah was not able to stand against the hordes of rabid Islamic masses without help from America and Carter.

It was mostly the communists he was up against, same as Turkey and Greece. And he wasn't, as I understand it from many Iranians in the West, an angel in any regard. There was a lot of corruption at the time and a lot of arrests, basically a police state, but, at at the end of the day, there are anti-communist police states and then there are Mullatocracies. Incomparable.

But yeah Carter basically sunk Iran.
