Saed News: a controversial video has recently surfaced on social media revealing a bitter reality: the existence of a secret room in the basement of Niavaran Palace, which is said to have been used for interrogating and torturing opponents of the royal court.
According to the Arts and Media Desk of Saed News, in recent days, a controversial claim has circulated on social media alleging that a torture chamber for political dissidents existed in the basement of Niavaran Palace during the Pahlavi era. This claim, which quickly went viral on platforms like Telegram, Instagram, and Twitter, includes an interview with an individual who introduces himself as a former member of the royal security staff.
According to this individual, the alleged room was specially equipped for "special interrogations," and it is even claimed that the Shah personally observed some of the sessions through one-way mirrors. The narrative suggests that some detainees were brought to this facility merely for criticizing the monarchy or expressing dissatisfaction with economic conditions.
Another part of the video refers to secret monthly funds that were allegedly deposited into the Shah’s personal accounts and used for "untraceable security operations." Many social media users see this as evidence of systematic corruption and planned repression during the Pahlavi regime.
Using hashtags such as #UncensoredPahlavi and #TheShah’sTrueFace, numerous users have shared the content, calling for historical transparency regarding the hidden and dark aspects of the Pahlavi rule.
