This video is the life story of one of the greatest agents of the British secret intelligence service in Iran; Reporter Sir Shapur. A man who, not only himself, but also his father, Sir Ardeshir Reporter, is one of the most influential figures in the contemporary history of Iran. His father became the founder of Reza Shah's power in Iran, and he himself was one of the key factors in the fall of Mossadegh and the return of power to the Pahlavi family on 28 August 2013. Shapour was a reporter who was a secret agent of the Intelligence Service and a liaison officer between this service and Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. He visited the Iranian court, taught English to Soraya, the queen of Iran, and played tennis with the king. He received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II in 1973 for his valuable services to England and was given the title Sir. In the 1940s and 1950s, in addition to intelligence and security missions, he brokered huge arms and oil contracts between British companies and the Iranian government and received huge commissions. But paying bribes to Iran's top officials in the contract to buy Chieftain tanks from England turned into a big scandal for him and the Shah. Stay with us until the end of this video to tell you the life story of a man who became known as Mr. One Percent at the end of Pahlavi's rule and when his role in contracts was revealed in the Western media. It was only a few years later that newly opened documents showed that the close friend and trusted man of the Shah of Iran had been a secret agent of the British intelligence service for many years.
