Nixon said that Iranians who went to the USA for their education returned to Iran and joined the revolution. But Iranian friends I have, who did go to American universities, have told me that, after the revolution, they could not go home. The mullas considered them corrupted by the USA and could not therefore be allowed to mingle with society in Iran - they would be jailed. Especially the women, who wore miniskirts in the USA and got invited to parties. The Shah was not a legitimate leader. He was backed in forcing an end to democratic government in order to assure continuity of oil supply to Britain. Hence he wasn't much liked and had to be ruthless to stay in power.
