Kirk, speaking at an event, described pre-revolutionary Iran under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as "wealthy, proud, strong, and beautiful." He showcased archival images of Tehran in the 1960s and 1970s, highlighting Western-influenced fashion, architecture, and social freedoms, including women thriving urban life. "This is what Iran looked like before radical Islam took over," Kirk stated, blaming the revolution for the country's decline. He expressed admiration for the Persian people, noting, "Some of my closest friends are Persian," and urged empathy, suggesting that regime change, though "complicated," could restore Iran's potential.
