This picture exists to sell the libs on how amazing the coup was the West did in Iran in 1953 called Operation Ajax. They overthrew the Iranian democratic government and install a liberal “king” as leader
It was a few liberal elites in the capital enjoying their riches by selling their country out.
The average population of Iran looked nothing like this image.
And also many of the forces participating in the revolution were quite democratic and even progressive. It’s just that Homeini and co gave them sort of a night of the long knives and created the theocracy.
