(See Operation Ajax.) Nassiri was appointed head of SAVAK following the failure of General Hassan Pakravan, the previous director, to prevent the assassination of Prime Minister Hassan Ali Mansur on January 21, 1965.
In the aftermath of Mansur's assassination, Nassiri brutally cracked down on various elements of Iranian society and was one of the most hated figures by the eve of the Iranian Revolution.
In late 1978, at the encouragement of Ambassador to the United States Ardeshir Zahedi and Martial Law Chief General Ali Oveissi, Nassiri was imprisoned with several other high-ranking officials, including Pakravan and former Prime Minister Amir Abbas Hoveida.

He provides an incisive account of events that led to revolution in 1979, though, with a slight error in fact.
(Per the Harvard Oral History Project on Iran, Khomeini was spared in 1963 because General Hassan Pakravan, then head of SAVAK, persuaded the Shah to exile the cleric, not the other way around.
