Answer 1
The Shah of Iran was a friend of the United States and was very cooperative regarding policy between Iran and the U.S. It is counterproductive to label the leadership as simply A, B, or C.
What is important to realize is Iran has the third largest oil reserve in the world. The style of government in Iran is constantly changing depending on who is maneuvering for control at any given time.
The Shah stole billions of dollars from the people of Iran and Jimmy Carter gave him refuge (a favor) in the United States. As a result, Iranian students captured 50 Americans as a way to ask for the Shah to be returned to face justice.
Thirty years later, the government has evolved from a corrupt weak democracy under the Shah to strict religious rule.
Answer 2
The above answer, while detailing the writer's personal view on Iranian History does not actually answer the question. The Shah of Iran ruled as a Constitutional Monarch with very broad powers. The Parliament that existed during his rule was subject to corrupt elections and many personal appointments. He was involved in much of the country's rulership and directed the SAVAK or Secret Iranian Police who were known for torturing dissidents.

What provoked the Iranian revolution in 1979?
The underlying causes of the revolution are described in another answer. What literally started the Iranian Revolution were popular protests against the Shah of Iran. The security forces would kill some of the protestors. In Shi'a Islam, there are traditional mourning days of 3, 7, and 40 days after deaths. The 40th day is the biggest day of mourning. Essentially, most of these mourning days would become new protests, more people would be killed, which increased the number of mourning days, which increased the number of protests, etc. Eventually, the security forces refused to fire upon their fellow Iranians and the Shah fled the country.

It is the fact that the US meddled in Iranian affairs and was not reticent about it that caused Khomeini to doubt whether the United States would have an honest and sincere relationship with Iran. This was further worsened by the US failure to render the Shah (who was in exile in the US) back to the Iranian government for trial.
