Mohammad Reza Pahlavi detained many [[Shia]] [[Islamist]] militants throughout his career and was pressured by the Carter administration to release them, which led to his downfall and the rise of the [[Soviet]]-backed Islamic Republic of Iran. The Carter administration regarded the Shah's replacement as a "[[progressive]] force for human rights]]".
