SAVAK was founded in 1957 with the assistance of the CIA and the Israeli Mossad. Its first director was General Teymur Bakhtiar, who was replaced by General Hassan Pakravan who was executed by the Revolutionary Guard after the Islamic Revolution. Pakravan was replaced in 1965 by General Nematollah Nassiri, a close associate of the Shah, and the service was reorganized and became increasingly active in the face of rising Islamic and Communist militancy and political unrest.
