I am from Iran. whatever point you want to make about Iran with Pahlavi dictatorship, this aint it.
the parliament in Pahlavi era was literary just rubber stamp the king orders.
when shah (king) came back with help of CIA it reversed all the mashroote (conditional monarchy) progress and became a absolute dictatorship.
Iranian women condition are way better now than under Pahlavi (outside of dress code laws).
sorry to hear about trump fucking up your rights.
