Iran was engaged in a war with what nation?
Iran has been engaged in several wars many wars, but did not cause any of them. The most recent one is the Iraqi war, where Iraq had invaded iran in an attempt to steal oil.

Was something prohibited under the rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi of Iran?
There were a number of prohibitions under the rule of the Shah, such as freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom to petition for grievances.
The Soviet Union had nothing to do with the particular issues that Iran was dealing with. The Iranians overran the US Embassy because the US refused to repatriate the Shah to Iran for a trial (likely a kangaroo court and execution). The Soviet Union was not complicit with that policy, and actually had funded much of the non-religious opposition to the Shah (which was Communists liked the Tudeh Party). As a result, there was no reason to anger the Soviets.
What would happen if the US invaded Iran?
It would be a dissaster for the US economy, by making the US debt bigger, it would weaken the US Dollar to 3 Dollars per Euro, 5 dollars per Pound or more and other countries that don't support the war, like China, would see their currecies at a extremenly higher price, which is going to make every American citizen's life really expensive, Hope they never do such thing!
The Hamas government in the Gaza strip would attack Israel in response to any declaraiton of war on Iran, and Israel would then be asked by the US not to respond, similar to the events of the Gulf war. The implication in the west could be catastrophic because no UK intelligence knows the number of links potetial terrorist organisations have in the UK to Iran. Security risks would therefore be significantly incresed to an urgent level.

Why do you suppose Iran is supporting both President Karzai and Taliban?
Iran doesn't support the Taliban. The Taliban rejects the Iranian form of Islam, and there is much hostility between the two, to the point where Iran almost invaded Afghanistan themselves, after the Taliban attacked the Iranian embassy in Afghanistan, killing the embassy staff. However, pressure from the international community caused Iran to call off the invasion. Additionally, the Iranian government actually provided intelligence about the Taliban to coalition forces during the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan.

Yes, but it does depend on how you look at it. Iran has an active military of about half a million and a reserve military of about 2 million. The paramilitary, or Basiji (revolutionary guard), however, amounts to 8 to 10 million. Though it is not advanced in the nuclear sense, it has a very large total of trained soldiers, the largest in the world.

Normally diplomats of foreign nations are immune from arrest and fines. Thus, they do not have to pay parking tickets. If they commit a crime, they are simply sent home. In the Iran hostage crisis, a group of Iranian students captured the American Embassy and held the people there hostage and even killed several people. That action was totally contrary to the way foreign countries normally treat diplomats. When Ronald Reagan was sworn in as president, the Air Force went on full military alert and Iran released the hostages at the American Embassy.
