This process. perhaps. signaled to the Shahs enemies that the Carter administration would not stand behind the Shah and the time was ripe to move against him. Following this event. and up until the Shah exited Iran. our Government continued to look the other way as many of the 85.000 Iranians. in this country on student and other types of visas. violated our hospitality and civil laws by participating in violent demonstrations. In Houston. they overturned and burned cars. In California. they attacked our police and attempted to burn the home of the Shahs mother.
