Assassinations of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi

A meeting between the Shah and the Pakistani chief of staff was scheduled for the morning of April 10 at 9:45 a.m. The Shah was a little late and therefore drove from his apartment building to the Marble Palace in a car without the Crown Prince. The car quickly passed the guards and stopped right in front of the palace entrance at 10:00 a.m. Mohammad Reza Shah got out of the car and hurried to the front door of the palace.
