About this listen

 Before the Islamic Revolution, Iran was steadily progressing toward becoming a modern, advanced nation under the Shah’s development plans and was regarded as a major regional power. Historian and writer Homer Abramian explains how the policies and missteps of the Islamic regime reversed these gains, leading to Iran’s economic decline and loss of regional influence. Homer also talks about his relationship with Prince Reza Bahlavi and his mother Queen Farah Bahlavi.
