Iranian Revolution (7 Jan 1978 Jahr – 11 Feb 1979 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Following the building tensions regarding Mohammad Reza Shah's US influence and the regimes efforts to limit political discourse, a revolution begins. The shah is overthrown and government control is assumed by a fiercely anti-Western regime headed by a previously exiled Shiite cleric, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Iran then shifts from a modernizing industrial complex to a Islamic theocracy.

Khomeini states that he will "export" Iran's revolution to its neighboring countries, intending to create more Islamic states.
