The Shah had a secret police called the SAVAK. The Savak worked under Shah Mohammad Reza. They were in secrecy and did whatever was needed to keep the government happy. Their purpose was to keep the peoples political knowledge to a minimal. They could break the law whenever needed.
They watched the people with intense surveillance.
The SAVAK was trained by Israel's secret service. People in the Iran Secret Police called themselves “the divine justice that showed little mercy.”
They protected the Shah under any circumstances.
The SAVAK would track down certain people that were a threat.
Any people that protested against the Shah would be taken by the agents.
Iranians hated them and and were quite scared of them. The Secret Police opened prisons to torture people they captured.
The agents of the Secret Police were paid 5.5 million dollars from the U.S. The director of the SAVAK was in the U.S. the entire time. The Secret Police was not part of the military but they were very close with them.
When the SAVAK was taken down all of the high commanders were executed. The leftover members of the Secret Police would torture any citizens that were suspicious. The SAVAK was taken down after the revolution of 1979 and the Shah was taken down
