This research examines the pre Islamic Revolution relationship between Iran and the United States. The Islamic Revolution in Iran occurred in 1979. The relationship between the two countries is analyzed within the context of dependency theory.

Following the end of Second World War, the industrialized countries began to loosen their political control over those countries that were formerly their coloniespolitically, economically, or in both contexts. Most economistsboth capitalist and antiimperialisthad postulated that once free of the colonial yoke underdeveloped countries would move rapidly toward industrialization and higher standards of living (Palma, 1978, pp. 881-924). Marxist economists did not share this opinion, contending instead that the proletariat in these countries would need to wrest control of the state from the oligarchy before an improvement in the economic well being of the masses could occur.

As it happened, political freedom did not translate into the economic transformation that had been predicted for the former colonies and other dominated countries.

Through the multinational corporation, foreign capital flowing into peripheral economies is increasingly directed toward the manufacturing sectors of the peripheral economies that produce goods primarily for the core economies. The economic benefits of this activity in the peripheral economies derive primarily to a societal elite. The associateddependent model posits that the socioeconomic base thus developed in the peripheral economies both accepts and fosters unequal and antagonistic patterns of social organization and economic exploitation. Cardoso observed that traditional, or light, industry in peripheral economies require increased consumption by the population masses in those countries, while dynamic, or heavy, industry in such countries produce intermediate and capital goods that are directed toward restricted markets with massive financial resources (Crodos, 1968, pp. 79-103).
