▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
In 1979, the people of Iran shook the world with the most popular revolution history had ever recorded.

With the banner of Islam raised high, they sought an end to the oppression and tyranny of the United States’ puppet regime ruling over them with an iron fist.

This revolution shook the world, and its aftershocks still reverberate through our lives today.

From occupied Palestine to Lebanon, from Iraq to
Afghanistan, from South America to Africa, from Eastern Europe to American foreign policy -- you see Islamic Iran's revolutionary influence dominating the region and the world as a whole. Iran continues to make headlines almost every day.

What is so special about Iran and its revolutionary movement stemming 30 years back?
