Who led the over throw of the shah of Iran in 1979?

Answer 1

Iran is mostly Shiites who are deviated from the mainstream straight path of Islam; they visit the graves to perform some practice that invalidates the genuine creed of Islam such as asking the dead people to benefit them, help them or protect them etc. With regard to your question, it was the Khomeini who made the new regime on Iran in 1979. Thx.

Answer 2

Paramilitary organisations and factions. They later fell out and one (Pasdaran or Revolutionary Guards) became the Iranian regime and the other (People's Mojahedin) the new opposition.

The names of former revolutionaries like Mossadeq, Khomeini and Bazargan were brought up and that the paramilitaries were finished their work. The latter 2 were brought in to front for them. But held no true power.

Corrupt politicians also fronted for the new primarily military regime.

Answer 3

The answer you are looking for is AYATOLLAH RUHOLLAH KHOMEINI, but this is not entirely accurate. Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi abdicated the throne before being directly challenged by Khomeini. As for establishing the Islamic Republic, Khomeini was the principle architect behind that.

After Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi left on January 16, 1979, control of the government fell to his Prime Minister Shahpour Bakhtiar, who continued to rule until February 11, 1979. Iran was then ruled by an interim government headed by Mehdi Bazargan as Prime Minister until his resignation on November 6, 1979 in protest of the attack on the US Embassy (which he believed were brutish actions unbefitting of Iranians). With Bazargan's resignation, the Islamists led by Ruhollah Khomeini swept into power and began to rule the country. This was when Iran became an Islamic Republic.

Answer 4

US, Britain, and their western allies, under the disguise of an Islamic Revolution led by Ayatollah Khomeini.

Answer 5

ayatollah kamenei
