Shah tortured and murdered his political enemies. Carter protected him by refusing to return him to Iran where he could have been prosecuted for his crimes. That is why the US embassy in Tehran was taken over and Americans held hostage.
You are actually unaware that there have ALWAYS been Islamists seeking to murder anyone who did not do exactly as they say Mohammed (the murderer) said to do???
Followers of Mohammed have been murderers from the beginning.
That is the inevitable outcome of being the follower of a murderer.
Those that aren't murderers aren't true followers of Mohammed.
The only peaceful people from Islamic countries are those that don't follow Islam, which the Shah permitted and that's why Iran was a fine country then and not since.
Sorry about your murderous bros getting their nuts electrocuted.

Other than the argument that the CIA put him into power, which in and of itself is certainly not a good thing, I found no flaw with the Shah.
Iran was a modernized, safe country with considerable freedom for people, including freedom from the Islamists.
Oh, he had his police electrocute the balls of Islamic terrorists?
That was a good thing in my book.
So of course Carter betrayed him. The above quotes probably helped seal his doom too.

Shah was evil.

And his "political enemies": were, what?
Exactly what I said.
Boo-hoo. Sorry you're upset about Islamist terrorists and seditionists being killed.

In 1953, Islamist terrorism was not a thing.
CIA installing puppet dictators was.

It was not a thing until Carter/Brzezinski started Operation Cyclone to wage an illegal war against the Soviets in Afghanistan.
Shah was a puppet dictator. That's why he was protected by Carter.
