History

Historical Context

The 1979 Iranian Revolution, which overthrew Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, established the Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. This shift led to U.S. sanctions, resulting in over $100 billion in economic losses for Iran. Ongoing tensions, highlighted by recent U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iranian military sites, stem from this upheaval, threatening regional stability and U.S. interests in the Middle East.
