      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.

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