There is an implication in this question that is partially incorrect, namely that the primary or most important people to overthrow the Shah were fundamentalist Muslims led by Ayatollah Khomeini. This is not the case. The Iranian people, most of them traditional or secular Muslims revolted all across Iran. The Religious Fundamentalists were a minority of those Iranians who were protesting. When the Shah abdicated, there was an intent to create a Republic that represented the Iranian People. However, between April and October of 1979 (after the Shah had already departed the country and the Islamic Republic of Iran declared) Ayatollah Khomeini was able to consolidate power for himself and the other Ayatollahs and create the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran which vested the Religious Fundamentalists with political power.

Reza Shah Pahlavi was the Shah of the Imperial State of Iran from December 15, 1925, when he took power from the previous Qajjar Dynasty, until he was forced to abdicate by the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran on September 16, 1941.

Assuming that the question refers to Iran: The Ayatollahs demanded an Iranian Constitution guaranteeing the primacy of Islamic Law in Iranian governance and themselves as its proper interpreters. This is called "Wilayat al-Faqih" in Arabic, meaning "State of the Islamic Jurist".

If the question does not refer to Iran, it is worth noting that Ayatollahs in other countries such as Iraq and Lebanon have decided to support different political factions but not actually become ruling jurists.

The name "Iran Hostage Crisis" implies that there were hostages held by the Iranian government and this holding of hostages fomented a crisis.

In the eyes of the world, the US lost some credibility when South Vietnam fell to the communists in April of 1975. Some nations felt the US couldn't fight anymore; Iran took advantage of that notion.

No. The Shah, however, was deposed while President Carter was in office. In deference to the Shah, Carter did not recognize the Islamic Republic of Iran.

It was the movie "A Separation"

Iran suffers from frequent earthquakes as it lies on a convergent plate boundary between the Eurasian plate and Arabian Plate. One plate was pushing against the other, creating built up tension.

Ahmadinejad has said numerous things about Israel, none of them pleasant and many of them are considered incitements to violence.

His most famous statement is "Israel will be wiped off the map." Most Iranian Government Officials and Iranian-sympathizers note that it is in the passive voice, and claim that it is a historical statement. Those who oppose the Iranian State say that this along with shouts of "Death to Israel", "Israel is the Little Satan", etc. and direct monetary and military arms support to Hezbollah and Hamas show a direct intent to be part of the "wiping Israel off the map". They further claim that the passive sentence structure is to obfuscate this intent.

Ahmadinejad also does not usually refer to Israel by name, instead considering it the "Zionist entity", the "Zionist Occupier", the "Jewish Murderers", etc.

Soldiers were paid in cash and kind. Even volunteer armies had to be paid to enable them to feed and sustain themselves. The Persians were a mix of standing and conscripted soldiers and their money and sustenance came from foraging, looting and the treasury of the Persian government.
