In the 1950s, Iran was under the control of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, with the Shah acting as a U.S. puppet, causing widespread discontent. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini emerged as a powerful revolutionary, articulating his speeches with miraculous clarity, denouncing the Shah's regime and its foreign backers. His messages, emphasizing injustice and the need for Islamic governance, spread through cassette tapes and pamphlets, resonating deeply with Iranians.
Khomeini's speeches galvanized the populace, leading to massive protests and strikes. In 1979, these efforts culminated in the Islamic Revolution, overthrowing the Shah and expelling U.S. influence. Khomeini's leadership established Iran as an Islamic Republic, marking a significant shift in the nation's history.
Khomeini's speeches led to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, overthrowing the Shah and U.S. influence in Iran.
