Iran Advances Toward Modernization Amid Resource Boom
Iran, once viewed as backward, shows rapid progress aided by oil aviation trade and foreign ties. The Shah’s government, led by Prime Minister Ahmed Zavam, has reduced foreign troops, suppressed rebellion in Azerbaijan, and launched a seven year plan to raise living standards and combat illiteracy. The King Mohammad Reza Pahlevi pilots a flying fortress as schools and cultural institutions expand. The national bank maintains full gold and asset backing with 7.7 billion rials in circulation despite wartime strains. Oil remains the only resource fully exploited among known deposits.
