The Shah of Persia, particularly during the reign of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, requested various forms of military and economic assistance from Western nations, notably the United States, to modernize Iran and bolster its defenses against perceived threats, particularly from the Soviet Union. He sought support in building infrastructure, developing oil resources, and implementing modernization initiatives to promote economic growth and stability in the country. His requests often reflected a desire for greater international influence and the maintenance of his regime's power.

He was the last monarch of the Pahlavi dynasty and faced significant opposition due to political repression, economic issues, and social unrest. Following the revolution, he fled Iran, leading to the establishment of the Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Khomeini.
