چکیده:
Numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the factors influencing the fall of the Pahlavi government in order to analyze this event from different angles. The present study has tried to specifically assess the impact of the legitimacy crisis on the fall of the second Pahlavi regime from the perspective of "crisis theory". Accordingly, the main question of the research is, what was the role of the legitimacy crisis in the fall of the Pahlavi regime and the victory of the revolution. The findings of the study indicate that the Pahlavi regime tried to legitimize its sovereignty over Iranian society by relying on the principles of legitimacy such as the traditional monarchy of ancient Iran, the constitution, the army and military power, religious symbols, etc. At the same time, the authoritarian structure of the Pahlavi regime, the struggle against Iranian culture and authentic Islamic traditions, the intervention of foreign powers and lack of independence, reliance on force and repressive apparatus, restrictions on political participation, and acting as a rentier state led the Pahlavi regime to face a crisis of legitimacy. Not only did the Pahlavi regime fail to successfully resolve the crisis of legitimacy, but its wrongdoing exacerbated the crisis and widened the gap between the government and the people, calling into question its legitimacy and ultimately paving the way for its collapse. The research method is descriptive-analytical and causal. The data collection method in this research is library and documentary.

The findings and achievements of the research indicate that the Pahlavi regime attempted to make its rule over Iranian society appear legitimate and legal by adhering to foundations of legitimacy generation such as the traditional monarchy of ancient Iran, the constitution, the army and military power, religious symbols, etc.
At the same time, the autocratic structure of the Pahlavi monarchy, the struggle against Iranian culture and authentic Islamic traditions, the interference of foreign powers and lack of independence, reliance on force and repressive apparatuses, creating limitations on people's political participation, and the rentier nature of the government, caused the Pahlavi regime to face a legitimacy crisis.
" (Stemple, 1395: 37) 4-2- Dependency on foreign powers Since there is no doubt or suspicion regarding the installation of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to the government of Iran by the Allied forces and the lack of involvement of the Iranian people in this appointment, we will therefore address in this section the role of foreigners in the survival and establishment of this government and thus the dominance of foreigners over all pillars of the country and the preservation of foreign interests by the court and the Pahlavi regime, and the impact of this reality on the lack of legitimacy of this regime.
) After Mohammad Reza Shah came to power and the United States emerged from its political isolation, this country has been the most influential factor in the internal and external affairs of the Pahlavi regime.
