The revolution was a quarter of a century after the Shah came to power. It is a bit silly to state counterfactuals over such a long period in such an unstable and violent region. The Shah's reign was pretty popular during the first decade, it went quickly downhill after that. Mossadegh was only prime minister for 2 years. Two extrapolate in any way from this is ridiculous.
