A- Plan of the investigationWhat influence did the SAVAK have on Iranian citizens during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah? How were controversial authors, poets and other political revolutionaries critical of SAVAK treated and what consequences did these enlightened revolutionaries face with SAVAK? This investigation seeks to discuss the influence of SAVAK in Iran and the circumstances under which revolutionaries were oppressed by SAVAK. The main body of the investigation will illustrate how some people chose to spread awareness and express opposition through literature and other methods, and what political consequences they would face. The effects of oppression are then analysed, drawing particular attention to how SAVAK's ways triggered the Iranian Revolution and the collapse of Mohammad Reza Shah. Two of the sources used in this essay, Sky of Red Poppies and Persepolis, are then evaluated in detail for bias, context, credibility, purpose, and historical accuracy. The conclusion will summarize the causes and effects of SAVAK's oppression. B- Summary of Evidence SAVAK was a secret police intelligence agency established in 1957, under the reign of Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi, and operated until 1979, when it was dismantled by revolutionaries of the Iranian Revolution. The United States played a primary role in supporting the creation of SAVAK, making it an extremist version of the CIA, with the aim of instilling terror and strengthening the Shah's supremacy as absolute monarch. The reason for the massive US support for the creation of SAVAK was due to the fact that the CIA had originally installed the Shah in power as part of a coup.
