Featured Story: Iranian Revolution - In 1979, Iran underwent a dramatic revolution that overthrew the Western-backed Shah and replaced the monarchy with an Islamic Republic led by Ayatollah Khomeini. Driven by a mix of political, religious, and social unrest, the revolution reshaped Iranian society and shifted power dynamics across the Middle East.
