      The fact is that the embassy occupation occurred without his knowledge and approval. There were many factions in iran, and khomaini had to support the invasion of embassy in order to maintain his position. The whole invasion and hostage taking was very bad for iran and the Iranian regime but they got drag into it by the more radical faction of the revolutionaries. Also the 1953 coup is seared in Iranian psyche. In retrospect the new revolutionary govt should have just asked western diplomats to leave immediately so as to prevent hostage taking. It was the tail that waggd the dog!

    After the embassy take over, a room half-full of shredded paper was discovered. The students painstakingly matched the pieces together, and the result of that came to be more 70 volumes of books, explaining the spying activities of that embassy, in Iran and the whole region. Not long later, Sadat of Egypt was killed by his people, and years later Egyptians had a revolution of their own. But it was brought down by a military coup. Egyptians never took over US embassy there. There is a saying " there will never be a coup in the US, because there is no US embassy in Washington"

    I was watching the news on an Australian channel Australia 🇦🇺 and the guest was an American Jewish professor. 🇺🇸 The presenter asked him: What is happening in the Middle East? The Jewish professor answered: For 300 years, we Westerners ruled the world with money and weapons, and things were going as planned. Whoever did not obey us, we would tempt him with money or threaten him with weapons. But after the arrival of Khomeini in 1979, a new and strange player entered our midst, who did not covet money, nor was he afraid of weapons. The strangest thing is that God stood with them in everything, and God changed the balance of power, let us down and gave them victory. The philosopher said, I expect that God will continue to stand with them because the data indicates that.

      @@brianwalsh1401 We saw this shift in NEWS intergrity when Rupert Murdoch and others in the "Media" industry began to go to "War" with each and Cable News Network (24 hour practically brain washing propaganda began) depending on which network you watch. We used to watch 5PM or 10PM News and that was it. Of course Social Media plays a HUGE factor. This type of politically BIAS Mainstream propaganda has always existed on some level. It has just now been taken to the next level.
      I feel today, they intentionally make things so chaotic, race or politically related intentionally so we are always second guessing everything. 60 Minutes used to do some pretty hard-lined exposure or fact finding segments. With the intention of EXPOSING Corrupton. I now think MSM NEWS has been engineered to HIDE corruption. Because the Corrupt are the ones whom own these Networks. And can destroy a Journalists Career if they speak real Truth.
      Yes it was probably corrupt in a way then. But now is next level.On the election fraud, yes election fraud is 100% real. They literally stopped counting votes at 2AM and drove in an insane amont of "Mail-In-Ballots". They even started covering up the windows in Vote Counting Stations in the middle of the night. 99% of Countries in this World, even Iraq & Afghanistan do not allow Mail-In-Ballots unless someone is a diplomat, military or some other very good reason for mailing in.
      It is a corrupt system that the media protects. A REAL Journalist would be investigating Voter Fraud.
      The Dominion Voting machines used in Venezuela 100% threw that election that lead to the implosion of that country. And when the media started investigating it in Venezuela, and Government officials were calling for an investigation, the storage facility holding all the Dominion Voting Machines & Computer Data about that election mysteriously caught on fire in the middle of the night and was burnt to the ground.
      The Media stayed as far away from that story as possible. I believe The Guardian (UK) reported on this, then they were bought out by one of these Media Conglomerates and their entire platform of exposing TRUTH was scrubbed. Everyday Civilians are now the new "investigative journalists"

    It’s interesting watching this video 44 years later, with the hindsight of history what the problem was. The Shah had been installed by a coup in the 50s at the request of the British by the CIA. When news came out , after the revolution and the fleeing of the shah to Mexico, he subsequently was allowed to the US for medical treatment for a diagnosed cancer. This precipitated thoughts that a 2nd coup was being orchestrated and the storming of the embassy and the taking of hostages given what happened in the CIA orchestrated coup in the 50s. Frankly the Shah was dying anyways they should have just given him up and gotten all the hostages, apparently he could have received the same treatment in Mexico. By allowing him into the states it precipitated the hostage crisis, and Khomeni needed the Shah to prove no 2nd coup could be done, they didn't believe the cancer story. This really boiled down to not wanting to appear weak. It’s amazing how much human suffering is caused by politicians trying to save face. The Shah died the following year in Egypt. They didn’t even keep him in the US. Carter went down as one of the weakest US presidents in recent history anyways. I'd have traded the Shah for the hostages release in a heartbeat.

      This is where I think you dont understand politics. Even I dont on several occasions, but this one I do. Its about long term establishment of trust and not just about saving face. If US had given up the Shah, then there was a chance no middle east leader anywhere would ever trust them again and thats needed to solify a base everywhere. If the US gave up foreign leaders in exchange for civilians, pretty sure no ally would trust them again. It is not possible now. The Congress and social media would force US to get their citizens first but it was possible then and they refused to give him up. Carter was never great but this was needed.

    Based on historical evidence, the United States, Britain, and Israel assisted in toppling Iran's previous government in 1979 and establishing the Islamic Republic led by ideologically extreme individuals. Unfortunately, this event caused turmoil in Iran. Nevertheless, Iranians should take accountability for their choices and actions, and use our past mistakes as a valuable lesson. However, it is crucial to remember that the United States and Britain's actions should not be overlooked or forgiven.

      Maybe, but in the end it was a revolution led by the Iranian people (not just Islamists, but many factions across the spectrum) against a previous dictatorship under the Shah that was also backed by all those Western countries. Furthermore, Iran used to be quite democratic in the 50's but their government was overthrown by the US and Britain to install the Shah as dictator so the West could ransack the country.
      The 1979 revolution is justified because Iranians wanted self-determination and independence, something they did not have before 1979, even if it is under a Theocratic dictatorship right now. What's important today is that the West stays out of Iran's affairs (which they are currently not doing).

    I genuinely can't understand how the entire country was supportive w.the ayatollah. People are fighting for progress, no oppression, and women's rights yet they voted for a theocracy by referendum and followed a clergy who openly spoke about anti women's rights and the reversal of general society progression in Iran. I will never understand the logic of Iran in the 70s in supporting this guy. I get there was oppression and poverty from cost of living but the logic behind their admiration for him is just illogical based in reflection of their ideal state

      I am an Iranian who researched about the revolution (since I am not old enough to have experienced it) and also, I have lived among the current situation of Iran.
      Iran's 1979 was a religious revolution that had nothing to do with financial situations. Iran's economic situation was so good back then that Mullahs after gaining power, they shared the wealth among one another and all of them got a piece of it (Based on what themselves admitted).
      The real reason this happened is because Shah suddenly stopped supporting Mullahs financially and they fired back by rallying people against him. They had the influence on people and as my 81 year old history professor used to say, "We needed to give Mullahs power once, in order to know who they are. They have always been among the people, eating off the people with no actual use".
      And about the current situation of Iran, Mahsa Amini . This is not a 1 year old revolution, it goes back to 43 years ago. People were always against the Islamic Republic from the beginning of its creation and it is seen through all the protests that were held in the early days, through 80s, 90s, 2008, 2018, 2019, and now 2022.
      The problem is, there was a group called "Mojahedin". They were not that many. (Around 100 thousand members). However, they were brutal and were carrying so many terrorist attacks in Iran. Another group, was republicants. Trying to create a democratic country with presidents (They were they highest in numbers and they actually did the revolution). And then there were Mullahs. Mullahs were not that many. However, Khomeini managed to trick the republicants into a narrative that he also has a democratic view which led to Khomeini being chosen as the leader of the movement. However, right after gaining power, Khomeini and his number one Mullahs, they massacred the Republicants. They made massive graves out of those people. For a period of time, there were people hung up on trees all over cities.
      And then he created a refrandom which had only "Islamic Republic, Yes, or No" to it. There were no republicants to oppose them. And also back then there were not media accessibility as well as there is today and people were tricked into thinking that the Islamic Republic is actually a good thing.
      I hope this helped. If you have questions, I'll be happy to answer them
