Iran in the 1970s before the Islamic Revolution

clipped from mithridates.blogspot.com Iran in the 1970s before the Islamic Revolution Mention the word Iran to most people and this image is probably close to what first comes to mind: Older people will remember a vastly different impression of Iran though, the Iran from before the Islamic Revolution. There are a large number of pictures and videos out there that show a radically different country from the one today (some might be from the 1960s BTW) so I've gathered a few of them together. First some photos from two videos here and here: People standing around a car in the mountains Two women posing for a picture Afkhami at her first press conference as secretary general of the Women's Organization of Iran (1970) Peace Corps party photo in Tehran Some guy with a sweater, 1971 Current president Ahmadinejad in 1976 with his soccer team Family hanging out in the park in 1975
