In 1979, based Iranians removed from power the Jewish puppet Shah and established an Islamic Republic which reflected the interests of the 99% Muslim population. This was a great gentile victory over International Jewry. Jews to this day are still crying about the Iranian revolution and doing everything in their power to overthrow Iran's based government and set up a puppet regime controlled by Jews.

The nightmare for Iran’s Jews began on Feb. 1, 1979, when the exiled Khomeini returned to Iran, quickly dissolved the monarchy of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and shortly after established a new fundamentalist Islamic state. Practically overnight, the new theocratic regime eliminated many of the freedoms and civil liberties once taken for granted by Iranians — including the country’s Jews, who under the shah’s reign had experienced one of the greatest periods of peace and prosperity in their long history in the region.
The new regime also quickly executed several prominent Jews in the country, accusing them of sympathizing with the fallen monarchy or “spying for Israel and America.” For fear of what calamity might befall them, many Jewish families rushed to abandon their homes and businesses and fled the country — often under cover of night. Others lost everything they owned, as the new government confiscated millions of dollars in assets.
“The Islamic Revolution was a horrific calamity for Iran’s Jews since our lives were suddenly turned upside down when Khomeini took power,” said Joe Shooshani, a businessman and Beverly Hills city planning commissioner who arrived prior to the revolution. “Those of us who were able to adapt to our new lives in America have done well, and those who were unable to do so have suffered a lot.”
Under the late shah’s rule, Iran’s Jews, as well as other religious minorities in Iran, had become accustomed to being treated with respect, albeit as separate, distinct cultures. Now they were third-class citizens, and the atmosphere of hostility led thousands of them to flee the country after 2,700 years of living there."

The Iranian revolution was 40 years ago. Persian Jews in Los Angeles are still feeling the pain. - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
The fortieth anniversary of the Islamic revolution reopens old wounds among Jews who experienced its cruelty firsthand.
