How Iran Became an Islamic Republic (And Why it Matters Today)

In 1979, Iran underwent one of the most significant political transformations of the 20th century. A powerful monarchy led by Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi collapsed, and a new Islamic Republic emerged under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. In this short historical documentary, we explore the key events that led to the Iranian Revolution and explain how Iran transitioned from a pro-Western monarchy to a religious republic. From growing political unrest and mass protests in cities like Tehran and Qom, to the Shah’s departure and Khomeini’s return from exile, the events of 1979 reshaped Iran’s political system and its role in global politics. Understanding the Iranian Revolution helps explain many aspects of modern Iran today — including its leadership structure, its political institutions, and its relationship with the rest of the world.
