...army's loyalty could be stretched to the breaking point if the Shah should appear to be doing anything to weaken his own authority and thus that of his armed forces. A confidant of the Shah's said late last week that there were only two possibilities left: either there would be a civilian government with strong support or there would be a military coup from either the left or right.
