“I didn’t believe that the Revolution would happen. We could hear the news. We could hear people were not happy with the Shah. We could hear people were upset. We could see people in the street. But we could not believe, personally I couldn’t believe that one day the Shah would leave. Because Shah was in such a strong position. Especially when all these US governments, European governments were protecting him.
