	THE IRANIAN: Monarchy and Theocracy, Fereydoun Hoveyda
		In this perspective and to come back to the events that ended the Iranian monarchy and replaced it with Khomeini's Islamic despotic rule, one should remember that by 1977, under the pressure of the Carter administration, Muhammad Reza Shah, already deeply impressed by Juan Carlos' example in Spain, wanted to "liberalize" his regime.
