Iranian Revolution
Come join the Iranian Revolution
The Begining of the Islamic Nation of Iran
Ani-Shah
As the 1970s drew to a close, a series of large-scale, increasingly violent anti-Shah protests swept Iran. Instability, including a wave of general strikes, continued throughout the year, crippling the country's economy.
The Streets Begin to Rumble
On February 11, tanks rumbled through the streets of Tehran amid rumours of an impending military coup. However as the day wore on it became apparent that the army had little appetite for seizing power. Revolutionaries stormed Tehran's main radio station and declared: "This is the voice of the revolution of the Iranian people!"
Islamic Republic
Prime Minister Bakhtiar resigned. Two months later Ayatollah Khomeini won a landslide victory in a national vote. He declared an Islamic republic, and was appointed Iran's political and religious leader for life.
