I have just watched a programme on TV about the state of Iran and how it is today. The programme also mentioned the Iran-Iraq War, The Gulf wars and ultimately the tensions between Iran and the Western World which we are experiencing today. This, however, caused me to ask the question; The Iranian Revolution against the government of the Shah was a success in our timeline, what if, for some reason, it wasn't, what if for some reason, the revolution failed; (i.e Ayatollah Khomeini was killed before he led the revolution or in France). If the Shah had maintained control in Iran, how would this effect our world today, would the Iraq War have taken place? What would the present day situation in the gulf be? Moreover, how could this take place?
