Joint efforts by Shahpour Bakhtiar and the United States to contain and suppress the Islamic Revolution

One of the most sensitive and important historical juncture of Iran’s Islamic revolution is the period when Shapur Bakhtiar was the prime minister. Although that period as far as time is concerned was very short its incidents and happenings were very important and decisive. This thesis is written based on value consensus theory of Chalmers Johnson. In that period the role played by the government, the army, the revolution’s leadership and groups that opposed the regime and also foreign countries and particularly the U.S. is very important.
