Explanation

The shah promoted industrialization and modernization, signed oil agreements with Western countries, and carried out land redistribution and other reforms. His government also restricted free speech and civil liberties. He did not support fundamentalists within his government, and firing and imprisoning many corrupt officials was not a defining feature of his rule in this period.
