    OP’s picture is after the foreign meddling. Iran was trying to paint itself as a westernized country, and so western styles were part of the way the Shah’s regime encouraged that.

    The coup which ousted Mossadegh and reinstated the Shah occurred a full 20 years before this picture was supposedly taken.
