Historical Context

The Iranian Revolution of 1979 overthrew Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, leading to the establishment of the Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Khomeini. This shift marked a significant change in regional dynamics, as Iran adopted an anti-Western stance and supported Shia movements across the Middle East. Today, tensions persist, particularly between Iran, the U.S., and Israel, reflecting ongoing geopolitical volatility.
