The Iranian Monarchy was replaced with an Islamist Regime.The Iranian people, most of them traditional or secular Muslims revolted all across Iran against the Iranian Shah or King. After the Shah abdicated in the face of these protests, the Ayatollahs were able to consolidate power and create the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran which vested the Religious Fundamentalists with political power.

The most notable country that experienced an Islamic revolution in the late 1970s is Iran, which culminated in the overthrow of the Pahlavi monarchy and the establishment of the Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979. This revolution was characterized by a mass movement against Western influence and secularism. While other countries in the region faced significant political changes during this period, Iran's revolution was the most prominent example of an Islamic uprising.
The most notable hostage crisis of the late 1970s was the Iran Hostage Crisis, which began on November 4, 1979. Iranian students stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and took 52 American diplomats and citizens hostage, demanding the extradition of the former Shah of Iran, who was in the U.S. for medical treatment. The hostages were held for 444 days, leading to a significant deterioration in U.S.-Iran relations and influencing American politics for years to come. The crisis ended on January 20, 1981, coinciding with the inauguration of President Ronald Reagan.
