Google 1970s Iran vs now. It’s an interesting contrast of how quickly societies can change; and some would argue, not towards the future but backwards.

You have misunderstood the person you’re replying to. The Islamic revolution happened in 1979, 26 years after the separate CIA-backed coup. The CIA-backed one overthrew Mossadegh for a more monarchist rule under the Shah, Pahlavi. The Islamic one, which was not backed by the CIA, overthrew the Pahlavi dynasy and replaced it with a theocracy under Ayatollah Khomeini
Oh probably. I’m famously stupid.
