Crown Prince of Iran Reza Pahlavi and Yasmine Pahlavi mark their wedding anniversary

Bob Woodward wrote in 1986 that the Reagan administration authorized the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to support and fund Iranian exiles, including Pahlavi. The agency transmitted his 11-minute speech during which he vowed "I will return" to Iranian television by pirating its frequency.The Tower Commission report, published in 1987, acknowledged that the CIA was behind this event.
