How Iran’s Ayatollahs Captured Power | Flashback with Palki Sharma

In 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned from 14 years in exile to declare an Islamic Republic in Iran. He had led a nationwide revolution that overthrew the pro-Western Shah of Iran. What happened next was a consolidation of power in the hands of Iran’s Shia clergy. From parliament to president, Khomeini created a system that would give the illusion of accountability yet place ultimate power with him. Today, the supreme leader of Iran is the most powerful man in the country. Only he can declare war and peace in the country. But how was this power structure created? How did the Ayatollahs accumulate power in their hands? Find out on Flashback with Palki Sharma.

They never show their real face in the world until they got power.

The Shah had imprisoned the beast of Islam and we did revolted and opened the jail's doors and freed the beast!

Islam is like time machine. It transport you to stone age

[subhashishbagchi]

So Islam helped Iran to go back to stone age

[sayjustwordstome]

Islamic and republic is a contratiction

[AMen-ywcr]

Whether Shah or Khomeni, eventually the biggest loss is to the people of Iran.

[Passque]

Only if Shah of Iran wasn’t as brutal, maybe this Islamist revolution would’ve never happened. Many Shah’s dissidents only wanted democracy, and not an Islamist theocracy.

It's great to hear that you've resumed producing the flashback episodes, as this is a unique program.

It's always exciting to revisit important moments from the past. Needless to mention your interesting storytelling approach. Let's continue with the stories, Palki.

Thanks so much for this. Clearly that so many kids nowadays have no idea about what Iran is, let alone how it became Iran nowadays 😅
98.2% voted "yes" for an islamic republic initially. Well, apparently this regime built itself upon ignorance.
Although many of them certainly regretted afterwards, and never given a 2nd chance.
In contrast with countless human rights atrocities, Israel is certainly much better as a modern democratic state.
May Iran be freed, and turn the region into normality again!

[ONUCHEJAT]

Weldone Palki, so explicit, keeps me glue to the screen all through... You are a treasure that should be protected at all cost

[nigahnugget]

So in short Iranians went back to the stone age from 1980s onwards.
