    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the development of the U.S.-Iranian relations from early 1965, when the effort of the shah to assert Iranian independence from the U.S. increased markedly, to November 1967, when U.S. developmental assistance to Iran formally ended. It describes the overwhelming preoccupation of President Lyndon Baines Johnson's administration with the Vietnam conflict. It cites that Iran was allowed to purchase most of its weapons from the U.S.
