The Iranian Revolution - From Shah to Sharia
Tehran, 1979. The streets are on fire.
Students and clerics march together, chanting the same words for very different reasons. On one side — the Left: Marxists, feminists, workers, and poets who dream of liberation. On the other — the devout: followers of Ayatollah Khomeini, convinced they are serving the will of God.
Together, they bring down a king.
Together, they celebrate victory.
And then, one by one, they disappear.
History Declassified uncovers the real story of the Iranian Revolution — how Western-backed modernisation ignited rebellion, how faith and ideology collided, and how a dream of freedom transformed into a theocracy of fear.
From the palaces of the Shah to the prisons of the Islamic Republic, this is the untold chronicle of an alliance that couldn’t survive its own success — a revolution where God and Marx briefly shared the same barricade.
