卡特政府与伊朗巴列维国王的倒台

Carter Administration and the Collapse of King Pahlawi of Iran

伊朗巴列维国王在第二次世界大战后美伊亲密关系建立和发展过程中起到举足轻重的作用。不过到20世纪70年代后期,巴列维的独裁统治陷入严重危机。1977年入主白宫的卡特起初并没有意识到伊朗局势的严重性,所以仍把巴列维国王视为唯一可以稳定伊朗的国家领导人。随着伊朗危机的日益加剧,伊朗国王的地位摇摇欲坠,对此,美国各部门围绕对伊朗政策产生激烈纷争,并最终坐视巴列维国王倒台。美伊长达近30年的友好关系也宣布终结。

Iran's King Pahlawi was a key figure to establish and maintain close relation between Iran and U.S.after the Second World War.In later 1970s,King Pahlawi's autocracy fell into serious crisis.When Carter came into the White House in 1977,he didn't realize the bad situation in Iran,so he still regarded King Pahlawi as U.S.'s sole leader to stabilize Iran's situation there.With the deepen of Iran's crisis,King Pahlawi seemed to lose his power,there happened fierce disputes inside Carter Administrations on how to deal with King Pahlawi,and they watched the collapse of King Pahlawi without going to the rescue,and this leaded to the end of 30 years' close relation between U.S.and Iran.
