I lived in Tehran from July 15, 1975, to December 16, 1978. THIS is the Tehran I remember perfectly. Thank you for the memories!
You were one of those who wanted Khomeini and now escaped the outcome , right ?
By his name , he seems to be European and he could have been working in Tehran until the “revolution” came out and didn’t stayed there because of danger
ah lovely, right before the revolution.

Can I ask how did you manage to leave Iran on Dec 16 1978? How tense was the situation in the country at the time?
This video made me cry i was born after revolution & have never seen my country free like this😔

Thank you.. I only cried, remeberance of my childhood.
Iran was nvr secular. Mossadag nd Pahlavi both ran secular governments. Does’t mean they were the same man. Does not mean anything, actually..
wow...everything looks very pure and innocent... i've breathed that air...poetic and glamorous....
MichaelRogge , i want to shake your hand and thank you for giving back pieces of our lost dream....
Yes Iran was headed in correct direction, but too many people in Iran got brainwashed thinking / believing Khomeini (who was a puppet of US/UK) was New messiah or some Gandi. Khomeini was devil and his Ayatollahs ruined Iran. Shahanshah Aryamehr should have killed him in 1963 when he had him in his hand.
Coolcat Dozzit The revolution in Iran wasn’t only lead by Mullahs initially, it was an alliance of politically diverse movements aiming to overthrow the despotic and pro-US Shah rule.
It’s just that in the aftermath, Mullahs took over the revolution and proclaim the Islamic Republic
At that time Iran was one of the poorest country in the world
thank you for the memories perfectli peaceful it was a best time of iran,,,,,,

This was the same time that my family and I lived here. I still have wonderful memories of it.
Clint Shepherd I was very young 8/1975-01/1979. When I’m arrived and just two weeks living there I’m learned to speak Iranian basic language easily, was a peaceful years being there’s...I’m treasured these memories!
What a revelation!
Iran was magnificent, modern, progressive...
So nice.
Was...
And to think their biggest fear back in that era was probably the Soviets being on their border and a potential Communist takeover. If only they knew something much worse was coming, especially for the women.
Was, …but Only in the big cities.
Those were the days my friend... We thought they'd never end... wishing you the hope of a return to these happy and peaceful days.

If you are going to mention Iraq, ANYONE WOULD THINK you would mention the war with Iran, or the Iraq invasion of Kuwait...not just short-cut to the United States.
pajasa62 Well in truth we did mess up Iraq and I’m a Veteran of the first gulf war.
why do you think it's not peaceful there right now? because your media says so? I bet they have much lower crime rate than usa
Shah was a dictatorship. I thought western hypocrites loved freedom?
Those were the worst days for common iranians and paradise for the upper class people. You have no idea why the revolution happened do you?
I just love how people with their hijabs and people who don't wear those walk together on the streets. I hope Iran will be like that even it's just a dream
Iran become like this because the ruler oppressed the religous one. Oppression no matter from the seculars or the religious one will only cause trouble, a very big trouble.
Everybody should be free from oppression by the state.
I confusing about Iran, anytime some group take the power, they oppress other. I hope Iran will be free, soon, as real republic
@@Cleeon It's a chain of disaster they had. The Pahlavis oppresed the religious by banned hijab, oppresed the clerics, and controlled the mosque. So the religious ended up rebelled the Pahlavis and doing exactly the same due to their felt under the Pahlavis. They compulsed hijab, stricted people's freedom, and more. If this kind of oppressing each other's habits is stopped, surely Iran will be a better and more peaceful place to live in.
@@Monticello_Bonifacio I am Muslim and if we read and learn Persia history, they do the exactly same habits many time, between the good one and secular Islamic leader and the tyrant strict Islamic leader. If you ask me, what Iran govt now believe is not 100 % from Islam. Their Islam known as syiah it shiite, mixed with many false history and man made new law, not original from the prophet Muhammad. Yes, me too, I wish Iran will soon be liberated and have a real republic of government.
My mom was one year old. In 1979 she left the country with her two brothers and my grand mother, there was a huge risk for them to be killed.
Thank you for this.
In past iran was safe ok

Oh God
My father left during the revolution too after 18 years there. One of the oldest if not the most elderly civilization on earth that is documented. There are a couple hundred years where there is no farsi literature under the Mongolian empire forbidden to write their language in conditions a lot worse than these but yet they exist still.
I worked in Tehran 1975 to 1977 putting the gas pipes in the streets for OSCO. My wife and kids were with me. we had a flat in Nami lane off Zafar. Kids used to go to the international school in Niavaran where the palace was situated. Men used to sell cooked Beetroot on most street corners which we had for breakfast. A great country in those days!
The problem is that when religion running a country no matter what is the religion like Islam or Christianity or Jewish or any other religions.
The truth is that never let religion take control of the people
@@mohamed..ben. How true my friend.
Well of course foreigners were treated like 1st class citizens in Iran where you people stole oil from by force meanwhile the Iranians were treated like second class citizens which is why they rise up against the american puppet the sha
@@americanrebel1287 I have worked or visited fifty countries during my life my friend. I regard myself as multicultural and have enjoyed the friendship of peoples everywhere. I lived in Gach Saran, Ahwaz, and Tehran where I made many Iranian friends. Shukran Habibi.
Iran is still a great country despite the bad government. Iranians are very secular and many people there are not religious at all. The country has been around for thousands of years and has been through many governments. Soon this Islamic government will leave and hopefully a better government will be established. Islam and Iranians just don’t go well together. Iranians are still Zoroastrian by heart, which is a very progressive and peaceful religion.
Beautiful country, beautiful landscapes, beautiful mountains, beautiful gardens, beautiful architecture, beautiful culture! Be at peace Iran!❤
The footage along with the music brought me to tears. I'm sorry we put such peacefulness, freedom and prosperity in the past and never looked back on it. I'm sorry that our current situation reflects nothing of this and more than two and a half millennia of culture and civilization. Thank you Michael Rogge for the post.
Take your nostalgia goggles off for goodness sakes.
The Shah was no angel...
Huss Farsani Sorrow never restored the past , NEVER !
For us was Messiah , if Shah never been in power Iran would be nothing he gave us new life what ever you see now belong to before 1979 only one good things after 1979 & was Islam real face show to the world ,how satanic is that Religion .
Freedom and prosperity? The Iranian people in the districts had hardly any electric light, let alone work. What are you babbling about, you must live in a psychotic state of mind.
Thanks so much for taking me back to some of the best times of my life. Moved to Tehran with Bell Helicopter for three years. What a great place that was.
Such a sadness and nostalgia washes over me. Cannot stop the tears. We will get our Iran back. Thank you!

No actually it wasn't. The US is a developed country. Tehran didn't even have a proper sewage system in 1979.
@@anticommunist4152
Because it's this kind of stupid naive people which think that American culture is the best. I live in Europe and I know what American culture really is... culture of death witch pornography, lack of values, stupidy. I'm sick because of this!
I would prefer live in Iran than in Poland.
American culture and "democracy and human rights" were already introduced by force to the Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya... and it's hell there now, many refugees.
You don't understand Arabs or this kind of people... do you were in North Africa for example? I was in 2013... and now is democracy there with many islamists in tourist zones. In the time of "dictator" it wasn't this.
You don't understand Muslim world at all. In countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Iran, etc. must be strong power to save order! It was always. Arabs, Persians, etc. had the caliphe in history. Democracy there it mean chaos, murderers in the streets.
Ayatollah Khamenei is wise person which know how solve the problems of Iran and he is wall of morality, Iran helped Palestine and Palestinian people in the fight against unjustice and against the Zionists.
Iran is the last free country in the Middle East! USA and Jews wanted invade and conquere Iran to steal Iranian oil and to cutt off Palestine from help. Zionists want to Palestine die and Americans with Jews hate Iran so much.
Jews murdered Palestinian people, they did hell there - in Shabra and Shatila Zionists murdered 5 thousands of people, it was Palestinians which escaped to Liban because of Jewish cruelty and imperialism!
Jews and Zionists do problem in Palestine all the time! They pushing Palestinians to the coast, throwing them out from their homes, also Jewish soldiers shot on Palestinian settlements. Read about Ahed Tamimi and what Jews did to her brother when Israeli soldiers shoted pulls for fun and her brother's skull was crushed. 😥😡
And how many civillians murdered Jews in Gaza, etc. nobody count.
Zionist regime must be stopped in any cost! And Palestine must exist. Imperialism of Jews is a reason because of which all world hate Jews and Israel. In Polish TV TVP are programms which criticize actions of Jews in Palestine.
Jews are wick and evil people which want murder all their neighbours in Palestine and Middle East. I also once believed that Jews had heart and feelings, I met one in youtube and tried explain him that Israel should give back Palestinian lands (as in the UN was) and that Jews with Americans do crimes and genocide in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, but this Jew have heart from stone! He was pleased because of USA bombing in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, he was pleased because of death of Jasser Arafat, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, Ghassim Soleymani, etc. All of these people helped Palestine and were anti-Zionist and anti-American.
Of course that Jasser Arafat didn't die naturally, he was poisoned in France by the Zionists. In our Polish media was said because of this.
Jews all the time say about Holocaust... but no one say that Jews with Americans from 2001-2020 murdered over 6 mln people for oil and influence.
If no one can't say this, I say this.
When it comes about Holocaust... once I compass Jews, not now. When I look at Palestine and also wars for oil and influence which Jews and Americans did in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya... I can't feel compasion to the Jews because of Holocaust - sorry! Even I started feel that they deserved for this because of death of over 6 mln people in Muslim countries which they (Jews) did.
I the most was shocked in 2011 when this American and Jewish-Zionist bastards did with Libya. It was the worst crime of XXI century. It can't be forgive.
Of course, I knowed then that Iran will be next... because Iran have oil.
How I hate Jews, Zionists and Americans! They are pure evil. They bring only suffer, blood and pain everywhere!
And later the question: why all world hate USA and Israel? - because of this!
OMG thank you so very much for these films!!! I'm not Persian but the 1st part of my childhood was spent there during the reign of the Shaw & i have the best, sweetest vivid memories of those times. These clips are like a treasure for me. Such Nostalgia....Persians are the best people in the world!!!!!!!!!

Your shah was an Idiot
Dear Mr. Rogge, thank you very much indeed for sharing such a wonderful glimpse into a great nation. The nostalgic images of a by-gone era service as a sweet memory for many Iranians.
You are, like most fleeing Iranians, being blended by the mediocre, little Shah who, in his psychotic mind, envisioned himself on par with the more than ten thousand year old civilizations who had occupied the land in what is now Iran. What a folly to think that the Pahlavi dynasty in it's vain and selfish glory would mean anything at all. The Pahlavi will be remembered for nothing, because they contributed with nothing of real value.
why don't you open your mind to Iran now instead of falsely falling for nostalgic fallacies.
dear friend who kept and watched these videos I hope you are always happy and healthy and all Iranians wish you all the best🙏🙏🙏🙏.. My name is Babak and I was born in Tehran exactly the year you filmed this video and I was born in Tehran. 1974 .. You brought a lot of memories to my mind with these videos and it was really nostalgic for me... Thank you very much🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful country and people. Time for another Shah?
The Shah was a disgusting dictator and mullahs are😈
The Shah was USA's zionist Puppet
I love Khamenei, god bless him.
@@steadyandready6795 your not iraninan so you must shut up when you dont know enything
I am Iranian and It is time for change, specially mollahs who ruined this beautiful country.
I was an Iar Air stewardess based in Tehran 1976, 77, 78. Loved the people and the place. I miss my Iran Air colleagues.
Despite the Islamic revolution, Iran is still exactly the same. The people kind, gentle and hard working and the cities and sights just spectacular. I believe Iran's return to her pre islamic golden age does lies shortly ahead. No doubt Khomeini and Khamenei have caused so much pain and grief on Iranians, but it has also been a wake up call to true Iranians of the cause of their 1400 years of misery. Long live the descendants of Koroush.
Korush himself wouldn't be against an Islamic Iran. He would not be intolerant like these anti Muslims are. Islamic Iran is still iran so get over it. Islam and Persia are both great!
Islam is a one way street, it demands all respect it, yet it can do as it pleases to all non muslims. Koroush may have tolerated islam, but islam did not tolerate him. For centuries after the Islamic invasion, Koroush's tomb was a mosque, it was the Europeans who discovered from their sources that it was the tomb of Koroush. Thankfully Koroush tomb is no longer desecrated as a mosque anymore, though it is still vandalised from Koranic text inscribed on it. You must ask yourself, why is it that both Egypt and Iran were once superpowers in their pre islamic day,yet today they are former shadows of themselves with people desperate to leave for the infidel west? It's very sad, but islam is completely to blame, it incites perpetual war until the kafir is subjected to islamic rule and discourages innovation. When the kafir is all eliminated, the jizya tax base is gone, so you end up with a poor population obsolete technology. Ideology matters, it matters what people believe. It can mean the difference between landing on the moon or slamming a 767 in a skyscraper. No offence.
+Saeed Vazirian Koroush (aka Cyrus the Great) was not a Muslim. That religion of yours was forced upon Iran after we were invaded by Arabian tribes, who tried (to this day) to demolish the foundations of the secular Persian Empire. And you mention "intolerant" is funny because that is exactly what the Islamic clerical establishment in Iran is, and always has been. There is not a stronger, more evil force holding Iran back from moving forward as an advanced nation and civilization like the Akhoond's with their demagoguery.
LongueTiedNoLunger I wish we could go back in time and shoot "prophet" muhammad in the head.

Anyone planning a trip there do yourself a favor, only stay in Tehran for a few days to see the major sights then go to Tabriz, Shiraz, Hamadan and / or Esfahan. All of these cities are nicer than Tehran and Karaj. Tehran and Karaj are overpopulated as hell and full of massive traffic, terrible drivers, and mass pollution.
Also go to the north of the country, Babolsar and Asalem. You'll enjoy your trip much more if you stay out of Tehran.
I kept hearing about how wonderful Tehran is but I couldn't see it at all. The only thing I was impressed with was the fact that the train system was better than England's. Everything else was abhorrent.
I paid a visit to Shah's palace(museum),It was interesting ,I was surprised by his private library so many interesting books & titles !!!!! North Tehran was clean and tidy unlike south Tehran.Agree the train system was better than England however I used a train only from Tajreesh to South Tehran.(hope I do not mix up the names & places).
Unfortunately I spend only 2 days in Tehran .
Couldn't find a flight ticket to Isfahan ,no seats were available . I took taxi all the way to Isfahan (about 4 hours). I liked Isfahan more than Tehran ,paid a visit to an old Armenian Church in Isfahan . Excellent highway between Isfahan and Tehran but the way of driving ....just it's a gambling on life.

@Hamid Hussein why are u being so offensive? Yes but the fact that you think it is U.S. and not other forces is why I said global.
Since u are assuming that I am supporting it let me clarify.
I've spent more than half of my life speaking against the globalization and enforcement of countries into a singular global government.
I believe iran is probably the only country that can stand against it economically as they have proven under 40 years of sanctions.
But they are at the last straw... they are suffering and need to support their own people to boost their economy. You can't suppress and punish ur own people and fight external forces at the same time.
Simply because then your own people will turn against u as is the case in Iran.

@@zyzzzam6348 I hope so. My mother just passed away and in her belongings I found my shoes from Mosulay not sure how to spell that city. I also found my Turkish wedding ring (puzzle ring) and many more other trinkets from Iran. If Iran ever get back to the way it was, I’m going back there to visit as an adult. It would be a dream come true ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
Shah; Rest in peace. We are proud of our country because of you.
he is resting in peace with $40 billion of black money he stole from iranian . sure you are proud of this thug .
@Sam The Sham Nobody is free not anywhere , Freedom is human basic illusion .
@Sam The Sham All religion are cancer .
Are you proud of Khomeini?
Sure torture of iranians by the Savaks was something to be proud of
I remember I little bit I was 4 years old and then I came to America and 1972 My father was Italian He used to do business in lran So sad now the way things are
Lol it’s funny how you miss the times when your pappy who’s a foreigner to Iran had more rights and freedom than the Iranian nationals meanwhile iranian nationals had no rights at all and weren’t even allowed to be in the same quarters as the European foreigners, weren’t allowed to drink from the same water fountain, weren’t even allowed to shop in the same stores.
منِ افغانستانی وقتی میبینم اون ایران عزیز به این روز افتاده گریه ام میگیره چه برسه به خود ایرانی های عزیزتر از جانم 🥺
خدا همه ی پارسی زبانان را از دست مسلمون ها نجات بده 🥲❤️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 نگا کی داره میگه ایران که از بهترین کشور های دنیاست افغانستان چی😂😂😂😂 برو به فکر کشور بدبخت خودت باش که 100 درصد جمعیتش زیر خط فقر مطلقن اگه ایران خوب نبود 10 میلیون افغانی کسکش فرار نمیکردن بیام ایران بدبخت بیچاره😂😂

Beautiful Iran , very nice people
Beautiful country, beautiful people but wrong ideology.
All the best to Iranians.
I would say the same about India.
Beautiful country, beautiful people.
Wretched ideology

Thanks for the great film. I could totally change my point of view to what’s happening there in Iran. What a beautiful country and happy people !
No doubt everyone watched the video would wish their country’s best.
The film is a true gift, thanks again for the great work.
@pjdsa Thanks !
I would have been a year old when you shot this reel, we escaped in 1979, the sweet memories this brings back. And to top it off Vigeun's music playing in the sound track. You are a first class gentleman, bless you and thank you.
To be honest I don't know what I write.i am Iranian from khorramshahr,and spent 8 years defending my country Iran against iraq.shah was very good with Iranian people, but when ayatollah Khomeini came to Iran in 1979, everything changed,he only bought war and all bad luck for all of as, not even a single positive things.god bless Shah soul,and bring back Reza Shah Pahlavi to Iran.alireza,xo.🇦🇺🌹🦁

If Shah was good, why did 32 Million people came to street? Iraq war had was supported by US, it had nothing to do by Khomeini. Shah had a repressive regime and was a US stooge and traitor. You can't deny that fact.
Be cau
Khomeini literally handed out “ heaven keys “ to those who went out and fought Iraqis brainlessly.
ZZ sorry buddy but America gave weapons to Iran against Iraq in the Iran Iraq war so America didn’t support Iraq.What’s funny is that you are talking about the shah as repressive implying khomeni wasn’t even more repressive,we still see today how his religious class of Thieves he created continues to kill peaceful protestors in Iran today.
If the "revolution" didn't happen Iran could have been the American of the Middle East. All of our conflicts in the region would have been avoided.
Yep, if the so-called "revolution" never started and France never helped Khameini, the region could be very peaceful and many wars would never existed.
i hope that is not suppose to be a compliment
@All of our conflcts' Iran is responsible for none of the conflicts int he region.
Aleksandr Vasilenko Guess what: without America all our in the region would have been avoided.
Mr.Aleksandr you are absolutely correct. Thank you very much for your honesty.
No doubt and for sure this non Iranian islamic regime wont last for ever.We will take our country back.The year of 1979 will be repeat.
Sun & Lion forever
We??Since when you are representative Iranian people?just talk for yourself.You seems to be worry.How many dynasty came and gone since 2500 years?islamic regime will follow them sooner or later.
***** Exactly, this is it! The filthy Freemasons are destroying royalties across the world for their own greed!
They replaced the lovely peaceful king Idris of Libya with Ghaddafi, who oppressed his people for 40 years! The people turned against the wise king Idris, when he heard the commotion, he asked: whats going on? His men told him that the people didn't want him and formed an uprising! (it was backed up by the Freemasons) He said: Very well! If That’s what my people want? I leave! And he left! What did Allah/God give the people after him? He punished them with a dictator! Moammar Al-Ghaddafi! Who made them suffer for 40 years! Sad..
The Freemasons removed the wise King Farooq of Egypt, after a long royal dynasty of love and peace, and replaced him with Hosni Mubarak who was a pro West filth, took all the money out of Egypt,.
They did this with every prosperous country! And displaced the royalty!
And now they want to do it with the Arab Gulf countries, Jordan and Morocco!
However, it is too late! The people here are fully awake and we realized it! =)
We won't allow them!
For now we know that the power of the people is in the power of their support to their kings, rulers and tribal elders! (Sheikhs).
You cut the head? You attack the body easily!
Like China!
The Chinese know that their government is the head of the Chinese Dragon! Whither it’s corrupt or not, it is still the head!
Our prophet, peace be upon him, said: "Gather around your rulers and leaders! Obey them! even if your leader was a [black] slave with a head that looks like a raisen! Obey him! This is better than a "Fitnah"! (Fitnah = temptation, trial; sedition, civil strife).
Because, in a Fitnah and removal of leaders a lot of killing happens! A ruler will kill or execute a man or two! He will oppress a couple people who will say no! But people will remain safe and sound, eating and working! But when a Fitnah take place? Lots of people get killed! Properties destroyed! It ain't worth it! All for what? All for the Elites to have access to the people of a certain nation!
After the bombardment of Fallujah in Iraq? Many KFCs sprung open within the city! What the FUCK!
We don't need Western culture forced on us!
We wish here in the Arab Gulf countries if the days of the Secular Sunni Shah comes back!
The Shia Fanatic Mullahs destroyed the beautiful Persia. :^(
My parents and elders say that he was a lovely man! A man of peace! Under his rule? Sunnis and Shia lived together! And Jews and Christians! (Just like here in the Gulf).
Iran was a paradise on earth!
But now?
You may thank the Elites for all the shit happening there now..
Uprisings are evil.. we should support or rulers and royalties! :^)
Fuck the Freemasons!
+Arab Katib very wise...
Persian Empire
Good luck . Iran has great pre Islam history. Great to see Iranians in this setting
Shah never had sanctions imposed during his rule.
He was UK/US puppet.
@@waverunner7063 well is life better now?
Well US sanctions for 40 years have made life difficult for that country but for many Iranians, yes the revolution lifted millions out of poverty and created a middle class - something that didn't exist at the time of the Shah.
@@waverunner7063 That doesn't get reported in Western press.
@@pamelajudithrwanyarare8429 Remove the sanctions now and it will get better economically. Despite all these sanctions Iran has made technological progress. It is not a backward nation in that respect.
I wish I lived before the revolution.
I wish if i ran stayed with shah
One day my beloved country shall return to the glorious days...
@Border Patrol l was talking about ancient glory, and personally l don't see any glory in todays Irán...
Under coruption of shah regime. I don't think so. Better become lion in one day than become sheep forever.
I hope not, we are independent and powerful today. It took China 65 years to get there, we will get there sooner.
people had freedom , no individual freem now
by no means people had freedom back then. There was no freedom of speech, freedom of the media and in no way you could insult the monarchy. If by freedom you mean drinking booze and women wearing what they want then yes. other than that no
what th fuck r u talking bout goddelusion, i was 26 and working in newspaper company back at the moment,and left D country in1978 ,why got used to say shitttttttt thu u aint no shit bout it huh?
Mohammad Moeini You type like a 16 year old. I'm going to assume you're 16.
i think u aint still born thu.do not say anything about anythingggg u do not know
Maybe english is not his first language!
As a Iranian who became disable, at war(Iran Iraq) and I live in Australia, I always missed the happy time that I had in my dear country iran.I remember when khomaini ca
My father was in that war too. At the time I was 1 year old. A bomb exploded at him, his leg fell off, stomach and internal organs hung outside his body. Yet by grace of God they managed to stitch him up. Its really cruel how men were forced to participate in the war.
We ended up in Sweden followed by UK.
Had the revolution not taken place I may have lived in Iran to this day. It seems like a dream land, to live there as it was then. Would've dropped UK at the drop of a hat. Hahaa
@@M.Moadeli123 I don't know about your dad he was a defender or civilian,in two cases may God bless him as he love him and saved him.we used to live in the city of khorramshahr and we have to defend the children, women and our land however we do speak arabic as well.the only thing I believed and I am sure about it,that Allah Khomeini course the war and of course Saddam attacked our country Iran ❤️ i remember Saddam always used to says he love Arabs but first victims was arab who lives in khorramshahr. at the time I was 15 years old.i don't know about you Iraqi or from my background but I believed there is so many Iraqi people was victims of Saddam and khomayni.thank you so much for your attention and respond. my respect to your dad and all your family.regards.🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹😍
@@t72driver56 My parents were from Shiraz. I've yet to ask my father which of the 2 he was. He had alot of surgeries done on his legs in Sweden. Times come for him to get a knee replacement as the pain is getting intolerable at age 60, but it's a very long process here in Uk, especially now they have a backlog from pandemic period creating queues and waiting lists. You lot who endured the war and came out alive are true warriors. You know what real pain is and miniscule pain that's big to us is tolerable for you cause you've endured worse. What doesn't kill you sure makes you stronger. My father had a sudden onset hearing loss in one of his ears last year, and amongst many other issues it caused him, he also has what's called tinnitus which is a constant never ending ringing in the ear. He refused treatment and told the Dr's he just blocks out the pain and the Dr said he'd never seen someone say that in his entire life. So it goes to show, youre stronger than you think thanks to the exposure of the war and the level of pain you endured. Remind yourself you're stronger than you think next time life throws you a curve.
I shall ask my dad about the 2 you mentioned and leave a reply here.
Stay strong and take on life with your chest and head heald up high OK. 🌷🌷🌷
@@M.Moadeli123 thank you so much for telling me this.shirazشیراز my favourite city of poem and in our language we call them hot blood people خونگرم.we also Had very good military at the time who fight very good in the battle field of city of dezful before I became tank driver.i remember all this thing.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
@@t72driver56 He said he was a defender. He didn't want to go to war. He's a morally upright person whos lived all his life serving and giving to his family and community. He made an exemplary father and I'm grateful he made it out alive. As am i for you. God must've loved you also. 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

Thank's Michael for upload this video clip of nice memories back in 73 from Iran good old days.

Same, so think about why
Me too
Me too but I from India why is this irrelevant video recommended to me when it's after all between USA and Iran 🤔
May be I was watching too many USA Iran war situation news
@Raza Khan
This is a false story of yours.
Most of the Iranian people loved the Shah & respected him, this regime brought the economy down & invested all the money funding terrorism, most of Iranian people won't the regime out...
Look at today news...
Change is coming.
this move is wonderful.thank you mr MichaelRogge.please full version.
I was born in iran, 1985 and haven’t seen this Peaceful Era. I think we were (iran) at the beginning of the improvement. Unfortunately now we lost everything . We changed such an ongoing country to the worst one. Hope to see a better future for my beloved Iran 🇮🇷. Thanks for sharing

I was there. Between 1962 and 1978. If you look back from now its as if we lived in a different universe. My dad used to take us to Quom to by sohaan and gaaz. Trips to Karaj and Tabriz. Remember the trips to Rasht and Chaloose (if my dad was more adventurous!). It was a life time ago and I often reminisce.
Amazing Movie 1 year before I was born, it was a great country before the change regime, the music at 1:40 is so memorable for me. thank for sharing 🌹🙏🏼
