Resumen

Carter went to White House with the aim of correcting the course of the Iranian policy set by Nixon. The new administration wanted to prioritize the improvement of human rights in Iran as well as the launching of a liberalization process while trying to curb arms exports to Iran. But in the context of a grave economic crisis, the late reforms of the Shah failed to prevent the outbreak of a revolutionary process in the country. In 1978, the United States first ignored and misinterpreted the growing popular discontent against the Shah and then was unable to adopt a coherent and firm policy to tackle the crisis. After refusing to support a widespread crackdown of the protests by the army and against the absence of an agreement with the opposition, Carter finally decided to support an orderly transition that would leave the Iranian army intact so that it could later act as a counterbalance to the revolutionary government.
