Life in Iran Before the Islamic Revolution.

Had the CIA and MI6 not orchestrated a coup to overthrow their elected president and install the Shah instead, Iran might still be that way.
imo, we may have weathered the 1950s coup, but Carter letting the deposed shah come here for cancer treatment was a misread that led us to the Hostage Crisis. Iranians seem unified in thinking the US wants to destroy what democracy they have. And not without reason, although Carter could have just let the Shah get treatment in France or someplace.
