History

Historical Context

The 1979 Iranian Revolution overthrew the Pahlavi monarchy, establishing the Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Khomeini. This shift marked a significant change in Iran's governance, leading to the rise of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a powerful entity. Today, the IRGC's threats against Israel reflect ongoing regional tensions rooted in this historical conflict, echoing the devastating Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s, which resulted in over one million casualties.
