I read on this site that after the overthrowing of the Iranian Shah in 1979 the socialist faction stood a good chance of gaining power until they were outmaneuvered by Khomeini’s Islamic faction. So what would happen if socialists/communists took power instead of Khomeini? Would Iran ally with U.S.S.R.? Would they seek help from China? What would be their relations with Israel?
Would Saddam still attack Iran? How would U.S.S.R. react if that were to happen? Would U.S. put all their chips behind Saddam?
What would happen to Iran after the fall of the Eastern block?
And last but not least – what kind of socialist/communist regime would develop in Iran?
