What did the ayatollahs demand?
Ayatollah is a religious rank, not a specific group of individuals at a specific time. As a result, Ayatollahs have demanded many different things at different periods of time. If the question is specifically referring to the Ayatollahs of Iran in the second half of the 20th century, those Ayatollahs were demanding increasing adherence by the government to Shiite Islamic Law.
What is the meaning of 'taraf' in Iran?
"Taraf" in Farsi is equivalent to the Arabic "Taqqiya", meaning "Concealing or disguising one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies at a time of imminent danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical and/or mental injury." A one-word translation would be "dissimulation."
The original concept was applied only to pretending not to be a Muslim if so doing would save the individual from harm or death. However, it now has expanded to the idea that any form of lying is acceptable if it has a "higher purpose".
The practical application of "Taraf" in Iran is making promises to please the listener, while having no intention of doing whatever was promised.

Which Muslim leader overthrew the Shah of Iran during the Cold War?
The answer you are looking for is AYATOLLAH RUHOLLAH KHOMEINI. However, this is technically incorrect. Khomeini did not overthrow the Shah himself, but eventually claimed power in the wake of his abdication.
Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi abdicated the throne on January 16, 1979 and control of the government fell to his Prime Minister Shahpour Bakhtiar. Ruhollah Khomeini would not even arrive in Iran until February of 1979. Bakhtiar continued to rule until February 11, 1979. Iran was then ruled by an interim government headed by Mehdi Bazargan as Prime Minister and featuring a number of opposition groups who came together with the intent to write a new constitution. However, Barzagan resigned 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.

It is very different in all of these different countries, because the process of conversion moved at different rates in different countries. This is because while there was pressure to convert to Islam, forced conversions were rare.
In the case of Iran, it became Muslim-majority as early the mid-800s, roughly 200 years after Islamic conquest of the region. This was primarily due to restrictions requiring all bureaucrats to be Muslim and prohibitions within Zoroastrianism to work in medieval forges (which made conversion to Islam more desirable).
In the case of Egypt, it became Muslim-majority by the mid-900s CE, roughly 300 years after Islamic conquest of the region.
In the case of Syria, it became Muslim-majority by the year 1100 C.E., roughlt 450 years after Islamic conquest of the region.
In the case of Spain, it never became Muslim-majority. Even while Muslims were ruling the Peninsula, conversion by endemic Iberians, who were the overwhelming majority population, was slow. Additionally, Spain included territories under Christian Rule, which strongly retarded the growth of Islam in those areas.
