Andy Warhol, sorry, the shah would rule over Iran for almost another three decades, and it is during this period that Iran's nuclear program began.
The shah and US president Dwight Eisenhower signed a nuclear cooperation agreement, a research centre was established at Tehran University, and when the Treaty for the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) was opened for signatures in 1968, Iran signed on the very first day.
The relationship between the United States and the shah was good, and so Iran was brought into the nuclear fold with the promise of "Atoms for Peace".
