What was Iran like before the 1979 Islamic Revolution? Before Ayatollah Khomeini returned from exile, Iran was ruled by Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi under the Pahlavi dynasty. This episode explores Iran before the Ayatollah, examining the White Revolution, oil wealth, modernization, political repression, and the growing unrest that led to the fall of the monarchy.
In the decades before 1979, Iran experienced rapid industrial growth, land reform, expanded education, and increasing Western influence. Major cities like Tehran became modern and cosmopolitan, while rural areas struggled with inequality. The Shah’s reforms aimed to transform Iran into a global power, but opposition from religious leaders, intellectuals, students, and political groups intensified throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
