The Iranian Revolution of 1979 was primarily caused by widespread discontent with the authoritarian regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, fueled by political repression, economic inequality, and Western influence, particularly from the United States. The revolution united various groups, including religious leaders, leftists, and nationalists, against the Shah's regime. The immediate effect was the establishment of an Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Khomeini, leading to significant changes in governance, society, and foreign policy, including a shift towards anti-Western sentiment and the implementation of Islamic law. This revolution also inspired other movements in the region and altered the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East.
