Answer:
It led to revolution in Iran
Explanation:
The Iranian Revolution, in 1979, transformed Iran, which was an autocratic pro-Western monarchy led by Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlevi, into a theocratic Islamic republic under the command of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The shah was forced to promote the white revolution, pushed by the western powers (United Kingdom, United States). Western culture was penetrating Iran in the same proportion as the oppression of the political regime. This and other things were not very well seen by the local population. Traditional people wanted to keep their culture, religion, and values.
