The main objective of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979 was to overthrow the Pahlavi monarchy, which was seen as oppressive and corrupt, and to establish an Islamic Republic based on Shia Islamic principles. Led by Ayatollah Khomeini, the revolution aimed to remove Western influence and return to a governance that aligned more closely with Islamic values. The revolution galvanized a diverse coalition of political and social groups, uniting various factions against the Shah. Ultimately, its success resulted in significant political transformation, as it altered the socio-political landscape of Iran and inspired similar movements in the region.
