History

Historical Context

The Iranian Revolution of 1979, which overthrew Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, established the Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Khomeini. This shift drastically reduced Iran's oil production by 80%, impacting global markets and contributing to the 1979 oil crisis. Ongoing tensions with the U.S. and regional conflicts, including military escalations involving Israel, continue to shape Iran's geopolitical significance today.
