For one, Iran will have severe economic problems in this TL due to its loss of its main source of oil reserves.
 
Iran's going to be falling into pieces with organizations like the pro-Soviet MEK and the monarchist groups coming along and fighting each other for control of what's left of Iran; expect the USSR and the USA to back their players on this.

Who will be the U.S.'s players on this?
 
Khomenei's Islamist revolutionary regime falls, Iran descends into civil war between Soviet backed Leftists (Tudeh, MEK, etc) vs. American-backed right-wing factions like Imperial remnants and non-Khomenei Islamists.

The Ayatollahs hold over the country crumbles I'd imagine, with the people angry that they didn't win the war. Khomeini probably dies of old age regardless.

You have strikes, unrest, guerilla movements, perhaps even separatism in some places.
