▫️ August 1356 is a fateful month for the contemporary history of Iran. In this month, the Shah agreed to the resignation request of Amir Abbas Hoyda and introduced Jamshid Amoozgar to the parliament. ▫️ Fewer realistic analysts can be found who, knowing the relations of that day with Iran, evaluate this resignation as a personal decision of this statesman. ▫️ He himself had told his relatives many times before, "No one has the right to resign in Iran; Everyone should wait for the emperor's orders. Resignation is only by order of the emperor!" In this way, the question can be raised as to what changes had occurred in the Iranian society or the spirit of Mohammad Reza Shah that made him take this decision. ▫️ What characteristics did Hoyda have that made Iqbal Mohammad Reza Shah and what factors caused the decline of his Iqbal star in the sky of Iranian politics and the Shah's decision to send him to prison? ▫️ In this context, Seyed Hamid Motaghi, a researcher of contemporary Iranian history, had a conversation with Sadegh Zibakalam, a former professor of political science at the University of Tehran and the author of works such as tradition and modernity, Reza Shah and an introduction to the Islamic revolution.
