Description

These three 60 Minutes stories illustrate how revolutionary powers came to be and help explain the current day conflict in Iran. From 1974 and 1976, Mike Wallace's interviews with the Shah of Iran Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. And from 1979, Wallace's interview with Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini, just weeks after the Iran Hostage Crisis began. "60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

Can you imagine any American media organization interviewing MBS in Saudi Arabia today and asking him the kind of questions that were put to the Shah in these interviews?

As a Chinese, I still vividly remembered when my mom used to describe the prosperity of Iran in the modern history. I never understood it until today.
