      You’re conflating the 53 coup of Mossadegh with 79 revolution and eventual takeover of said revolution by theocratic fuckheads.

      OP’s picture is after the foreign meddling. Iran was trying to paint itself as a westernized country, and so western styles were part of the way the Shah’s regime encouraged that.

      The coup which ousted Mossadegh and reinstated the Shah occurred a full 20 years before this picture was supposedly taken.
