Did you mean "before their politicians wanted to get fair prices on oil"?

You're conflating the 53 coup of Mossadegh with 79 revolution and eventual takeover of said revolution by theocratic fuckheads.

You are 100% right that was the 50s not the 70s my bad

OP's picture is after the foreign meddling. Iran was trying to paint itself as a westernized country, and so western styles were part of the way the Shah's regime encouraged that.

The coup which ousted Mossadegh and reinstated the Shah occurred a full 20 years before this picture was supposedly taken.
