Doing an online assignment for our glorious quarantine, here's a lazy highschool freshman summary:
The most recent revolution was not the first large revolution. In 1906 forced the ruling Qahar Dynasty to create a constitution, which failed. Iran was originally Persia but was rebranded, after Reza Shah took over. He was overthrown and his son Mohammad Reza Shah took power. He was then overthrown, and Mohammed Mossadegh came to power. He quit after the US and British governments tried coming up with a coup to overthrow him. In 1979, Khoemini, who had become leader, abolished the political parties and replaced them with one, the resurgent party. The government was changed to be ruled by a single leader, and he decided things through the -word of god-.

This is a massive oversimplification. The US played a key role in the overthrow in 1953 specifically bc they didn't want a communist in Iran and he had kicked out British Oil interests. The Brits asked us to do it. Just bc some Iranian clerics wanted him gone too doesn't lessen the US role. Its also why the -death to America- chants were so prevelant and why Iranians largely don't trust American involvement in their affairs, bc we helped give them Shah Reza Pavlavi and then supported him throughout the 60s and 70s. It also glossed over the hostage situation. Usually love these videos but this one could have been stronger. Seemed like it didn't want to offend anyone on either side and ended up telling 1/4 of the story.

Iranians are not Persians either, why don't the westerns understand this? Iran is a multinational state, including Persians, Turks (Azerbaijanis, Arabs, Baluchis, Kurds, Turkmens, Qashqais etc. Iranians don't speak persian they speak a panoply of languages Persians and Trukic Azerbaijani being the majority. The Green movement was not a religious movement at all, it was totally anti-state but lead by a not-so-religious reformist politician.

I know it is a brief and therefore simplified narrative, but be careful: Mossadegh was not a communist and was not supported by the communist Tudeh party. They actually demonstrated under his premiership against his stands which was pro-Western in their view.

It's not always shii tradition to fight the temporal power, another strong tradition is not to involve in politics, represented by Ayatollah Boroujerdi until his death in 1961.

The Zionists' usual habit is to distort the past, but both in the original and in their distorted book it is written that Iran will kill the Zionists. Hahahaaaaaa

Also Reza shah was the best thing that could have happened to Iran at that moment. Qajar was weak and had incompetent rulers and Reza shah brought order to the country.
