The revolution was unusual for the surprise it created throughout the world
hi'a clergy have had a significant influence on some Iranians, who have tended to be religious, traditional, and alienated from any process of Westernization. The clergy first showed themselves to be a powerful political force in opposition to Iran's monarch with the 1891 tobacco protest boycott that effectively destroyed an unpopular concession granted by the Shah giving a British company a monopoly over buying and selling Tobacco in Iran.
Shah Pahlavi maintained a close relationship with the US government, both regimes sharing a fear of/opposition to the expansion of Soviet state, Iran's powerful northern neighbor.
In 1977 the Shah responded to the "polite reminder" of the importance of political rights by the new American President, Jimmy Carter, by granting amnesty to some prisoners and allowing the Red Cross to visit prisons. Through 1977 liberal opposition formed organizations and issued open letters denouncing the regime.
The leader of the Iranian revolution - Shia cleric Ayatolah Ruhollah Khomeini - first came to political prominence in 1963 when he led opposition to the Shah and his "white revolution, a program of reforms to break up landholdings (including those owned by religious foundations), grant women the right to vote and equality in marriage, and allow religious minorities to hold government office.
