Detailed explanation-1: -This became the Iranian Revolution, which overthrew the Shah’s regime. The movement was led by Ruhollah Khomeini, the grand ayatollah who was the leader of the Shiite Muslims in Iran. With a new leader came a new revived sense of religion. Khomeini made Iran an Islamic Republic (Hsu).
Detailed explanation-2: -Essentially, an authoritarian regime was replaced with a religious authoritarian regime, and the class divides of the Shah’s era were replaced with new class divides: “Sons of the revolution’s leaders and the business class that decides to work within the rules of the regime-they are the upper class in Iranian society.
Detailed explanation-3: -Consequently, the 1979 Islamic Revolution led the Saudis not only to accelerate their efforts to spread Wahhabism through their global infrastructure but also to debunk Khomeini’s vision of Islam by underscoring its Shia identity.
