Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was the central figure in the 1979 Iranian Revolution that overthrew the Shah of Iran, establishing the Islamic Republic. A devout Shia cleric, Khomeini introduced the concept of "velayat-e faqih" (guardianship of the Islamic jurist), which positioned Islamic clerics as supreme leaders of the government. His regime was characterized by a strong opposition to Western influence and a commitment to exporting Iran's radical Islamic revolution globally, significantly shaping the region's geopolitics and Iran's relationship with the West.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran since 1989, succeeded Ayatollah Khomeini and has continued to promote Iran's anti-Western stance and support for radical Islamic movements. Under his leadership, Iran has maintained and expanded its influence through proxy groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, furthering its regional ambitions and opposition to American and Western interests. Khamenei's tenure has been marked by a persistent commitment to the principles of the 1979 Islamic Revolution and an unwavering stance against U.S. policies.
Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi
Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was the last monarch of Iran, ruling from 1941 until his overthrow in the 1979 Iranian Revolution. His reign was marked by efforts to modernize and Westernize Iran, including significant economic reforms and advancements in women's rights, but also by increasing authoritarianism and political repression. The Shah's close ties with the United States and his secular policies fueled opposition from both religious and political groups, ultimately leading to his downfall and the establishment of the Islamic Republic.
Iran’s Axis Of Evil: Hamas, Hezbollah & The Houthis
Iran’s Axis of Evil comprises Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, all of which are heavily backed by the Iranian regime. Hamas, originating from Gaza, is a Palestinian Sunni-Islamic fundamentalist organization known for its militant opposition to Israel. Hezbollah, based in Lebanon, is a Shiite militant group and political party that wields significant power and has been a major actor in regional conflicts. The Houthis, a Yemeni rebel group, have received substantial Iranian support in their fight against the Yemeni government and Saudi-led coalition, contributing to regional instability and conflict.
President Barack Obama
President Barack Obama, who served as the 44th President of the United States from 2009 to 2017, is known for his administration's efforts to engage diplomatically with Iran, culminating in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). This controversial nuclear deal aimed to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities in exchange for sanctions relief, but actually empowered Tehran and fueled its support for terrorist organizations. President Obama's approach to Iran was marked by a false belief that the radical Iranian regime was capable of good-faith negotiation and diplomacy.
President Donald Trump
President Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States from 2017 to 2021, adopted a hardline stance against Iran, withdrawing from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and implementing a "maximum pressure" campaign. His administration reinstated stringent sanctions on Iran, aiming to curb its nuclear ambitions and reduce its support for terrorist proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas. Trump's policies were marked by a focus on economic and military pressure, significantly impacting Iran's regional influence and financial stability.
President Joe Biden
President Joe Biden, the 46th President of the United States, has sought to re-engage the failed Obama-era strategy of diplomacy with the radical Islamic Iranian regime. His administration lifted sanctions and revoked terrorist designations which have re-empowered Iran's regime and its terrorist proxies. Biden's approach represents a shift from the Trump administration's "maximum pressure" campaign to a strategy aimed at already-failed negotiation and diplomatic engagement.
