It consisted of several elements including <a href="/wiki/Land_reform" title="Land reform">land reform</a>; sales of some <a href="/wiki/State-owned" class="mw-redirect" title="State-owned">state-owned</a> factories to finance the land reform; the <a href="/wiki/Women%27s_suffrage" title="Women&#39;s suffrage">enfranchisement of women</a>; <a href="/wiki/Nationalization" title="Nationalization">nationalization</a> of forests and pastures; formation of a literacy <a href="/wiki/Corps" title="Corps">corps</a>; and the institution of <a href="/wiki/Profit-sharing" class="mw-redirect" title="Profit-sharing">profit-sharing</a> schemes for workers in industry.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEArjomand198872–73_71-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEArjomand198872–73-71"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>66<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Shah pushed the White Revolution as a step toward <a href="/wiki/Westernization" title="Westernization">westernization</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-72" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-72"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>67<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> and it was a way for him to <a href="/wiki/Legitimize" class="mw-redirect" title="Legitimize">legitimize</a> the <a href="/wiki/Pahlavi_dynasty" title="Pahlavi dynasty">Pahlavi dynasty</a>. Part of the reason for launching the White Revolution was that the Shah hoped to eliminate the influence of landlords and to create a new base of support among the peasants and the working class.<sup id="cite_ref-73" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-73"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>68<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-74" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-74"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>69<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Thus, the White Revolution in Iran was an attempt to introduce reform from above and preserve traditional power patterns. Through land reform, the essence of the White Revolution, the Shah hoped to ally himself with the <a href="/wiki/Peasant" title="Peasant">peasantry</a> in the countryside, and hoped to sever their ties with the <a href="/wiki/Aristocracy" title="Aristocracy">aristocracy</a> in the city. </p><p>What the Shah did not expect, however, was that the White Revolution led to new <a href="/wiki/Civil_disorder" title="Civil disorder">social tensions</a> that helped create many of the problems that he was trying to avoid. The Shah's reforms more than quadrupled the combined size of the two classes that posed the greatest challenges to his monarchy in the past — the <a href="/wiki/Intelligentsia" title="Intelligentsia">intelligentsia</a>, and the urban <a href="/wiki/Iranian_working_class" class="mw-redirect" title="Iranian working class">working class</a>. Their resentment of the Shah also grew, as they were now stripped of organizations that had represented them in the past, such as political parties, professional associations, trade unions, and independent newspapers. The land reform, instead of allying the peasants with the government, produced large numbers of independent farmers and landless laborers who became loose political cannons, with no loyalty to the Shah. Many of the masses resented the increasingly corrupt government; their loyalty to the clergy, who were viewed as more concerned with the fate of the populace, remained consistent or increased. As <a href="/wiki/Ervand_Abrahamian" title="Ervand Abrahamian">Ervand Abrahamian</a> pointed out: "The White Revolution had been designed to preempt a <a href="/wiki/Russian_Revolution" title="Russian Revolution">Red Revolution</a>.

This alarmed many of Iran's neighbours, particularly Kuwait, Iraq and Saudi Arabia as well as Western nations dependent on Middle Eastern oil for their energy needs. </p><p>In September 1980, Iraq took advantage of the febrile situation and <a href="/wiki/Iraqi_invasion_of_Iran" title="Iraqi invasion of Iran">invaded Iran</a>. At the centre of Iraq's objectives was the annexation of the East Bank of the Shaat Al-Arab waterway that makes up part of the border between the two nations and which had been the site of numerous border skirmishes between the two countries going back to the late 1960s. The president of Iraq, <a href="/wiki/Saddam_Hussein" title="Saddam Hussein">Saddam Hussein</a>, also wanted to annex the Iranian province of <a href="/wiki/Khuzestan" class="mw-redirect" title="Khuzestan">Khuzestan</a>, substantially populated by Iranian Arabs. There was also concern that a Shia-centric revolution in Iran may stimulate a similar uprising in Iraq, where the country's Sunni minority ruled over the Shia majority. </p><p>Hussein was confident that with Iraq's armed forces being well-equipped with new technology and with high morale would enjoy a decisive strategic advantage against an Iranian military that had recently had much of its command officers purged following the revolution. Iran was also struggling to find replacement parts for much of its US- and British-supplied equipment. Hussein believed that victory would therefore come swiftly. </p><p>However, Iran was "galvanized"<sup id="cite_ref-286" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-286"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>275<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> by the invasion and the populace of Iran rallied behind their new government in an effort to repel the invaders. After some early successes, the Iraqi invasion stalled and was then repelled and by 1982, Iran had recaptured almost all of its territories. In June 1982, with Iraqi forces all but expelled from Iranian territory, the Iraqi government offered a ceasefire. This was rejected by Khomeini, who declared that the only condition for peace was that "the regime in <a href="/wiki/Baghdad" title="Baghdad">Baghdad</a> must fall and must be replaced by an Islamic republic".<sup id="cite_ref-287" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-287"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>276<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The war would continue for another six years during which time countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Gulf states provided financial assistance to Iraq in an effort to prevent an Iranian victory, even though their relations with Iraq were often hostile – Kuwait itself was <a href="/wiki/Iraqi_invasion_of_Kuwait" title="Iraqi invasion of Kuwait">invaded by Iraq</a> two years after the peace agreement between Iraq and Iran was signed. </p><p>The war served in part as an opportunity for the government to strengthen revolutionary ardour and revolutionary groups; the <a href="/wiki/Islamic_Revolutionary_Guard_Corps" title="Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps">Revolutionary Guard</a> and committees at the expense of its remaining allies-turned-opponents, such as the MEK.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEKeddie2003241,_251_288-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeddie2003241,_251-288"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>277<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBakhash1984128–129_289-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBakhash1984128–129-289"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>278<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> While enormously costly and destructive, the war "rejuvenate[d] the drive for national unity and Islamic revolution" and "inhibited fractious debate and dispute" in Iran.<sup id="cite_ref-290" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-290"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>279<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Foreign_relations">Foreign relations</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Iranian_revolution&amp;action=edit&amp;section=59" title="Edit section: Foreign relations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93United_Kingdom_relations" title="Iran–United Kingdom relations">Iran–United Kingdom relations</a>, <a href="/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93United_States_relations_after_1979" title="Iran–United States relations after 1979">Iran–United States relations after 1979</a>, <a href="/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Israel_relations" title="Iran–Israel relations">Iran–Israel relations</a>, <a href="/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Russia_relations" title="Iran–Russia relations">Iran–Russia relations</a>, and <a href="/wiki/China%E2%80%93Iran_relations" title="China–Iran relations">China–Iran relations</a></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Foreign_relations_of_Iran" title="Foreign relations of Iran">Foreign relations of Iran</a></div> <p>The Islamic Republic of Iran experienced difficult relations with some Western countries, especially the United States, Saudi Arabia, and the Eastern Bloc nations led by the Soviet Union.

The attempt was a reaction to the secular political discourse namely <a href="/wiki/Marxism" title="Marxism">Marxism</a>, liberalism and nationalism. Following the death of Ayatollah Boroujerdi, some of the scholars like <a href="/wiki/Murtaza_Mutahhari" class="mw-redirect" title="Murtaza Mutahhari">Murtaza Mutahhari</a>, <a href="/wiki/Muhammad_Beheshti" class="mw-redirect" title="Muhammad Beheshti">Muhammad Beheshti</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mahmoud_Taleghani" title="Mahmoud Taleghani">Mahmoud Taleghani</a> found new opportunity to change conditions. Before them, Boroujerdi was considered a conservative Marja. They tried to reform conditions after the death of the ayatollah. They presented their arguments by rendering lectures in 1960 and 1963 in Tehran. The result of the lectures was the book "<a href="/w/index.php?title=An_inquiry_into_principles_of_Mar%27jaiyat&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="An inquiry into principles of Mar&#39;jaiyat (page does not exist)">An inquiry into principles of Mar'jaiyat</a>". Some of the major issues highlighted were the government in Islam, the need for the clergy's independent financial organization, Islam as a way of life, advising and guiding youth and necessity of being community. Allameh Tabatabei refers to velayat as a political philosophy for Shia and velayat faqih for Shia community. There are also other attempts to formulate a new attitude of Islam such as the publication of three volumes of Maktab Tashayyo. Also some believe that it is indispensable to revive the religious gathered in Hoseyniyeh-e-Ershad.<sup id="cite_ref-362" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-362"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>349<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Gallery">Gallery</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Iranian_revolution&amp;action=edit&amp;section=67" title="Edit section: Gallery"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px;
