Where did the Islamic Revolution take place?

The pivotal historical event known as the Islamic Revolution, also frequently referred to as the Iranian Revolution, took place in Iran. This profound socio-political and religious upheaval occurred in 1979, leading to the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty, which was a pro-Western monarchy under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The revolution culminated in the establishment of an Islamic republic under the leadership of Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, fundamentally transforming Iran's governance, society, and international relations.

• Iraq, Palestine, and Libya are all Muslim-majority nations, but they did not experience the specific historical event known as "the Islamic Revolution" in 1979. Each has its own distinct political history and revolutionary movements.
