Strong intelligence has begun to emerge that US President Jimmy Carter attempted to demand financial favors for his political friends from the Shah of Iran. The rejection of this demand by the Shah could well have led to Pres. Carter’s resolve to remove the Iranian Emperor from office. 1 GIS.
Highlights :
Carter subsequently refused to allow tear gas and rubber bullets to be exported to Iran when anti-Shah rioting broke out, nor to allow water cannon vehicles to reach Iran to control such outbreaks, generally instigated out of the Soviet Embassy in Tehran. There was speculation in some Iranian quarters — as well as in some US minds — at the time and later that Carter’s actions were the result of either close ties to, or empathy for, the Soviet Union, which was anxious to break out of the longstanding US-led strategic containment of the USSR, which had prevented the Soviets from reaching the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
Sensing that Iran’s exports could be blocked by a couple of ships sunk in the Persian Gulf shipping lanes, the Shah planned a port which would have the capacity to handle virtually all of Iran’s sea exports unimpeded.

Mr. Carter's reputation is forever sullied by his handling of the virulent, anti-American Iranian Islamic Revolution. The part of his reputation which is damaged most is his strange attitude toward 'freedom,' as if it were distinct from 'human rights.'
To Mr. Carter, apparently freedom for the Iranian people is something entirely different from human rights in Iran. It's good that he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize by the socialists in Norway and Sweden, because if he were ever awarded any prize for supporting human freedom he would have to give it back.
