The United States played a significant role in the events leading up to the Islamic Revolution of 1979 by supporting the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was seen as a pro-Western ally. This support, which included military and economic aid, fueled resentment among various Iranian factions, particularly religious and leftist groups. The U.S. was caught off guard by the revolution, which ultimately led to the establishment of the Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Khomeini, and strained U.S.-Iran relations significantly. Following the revolution, the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and the hostage crisis further solidified this adversarial relationship.
