I Am. I Was. I Will Be. The Iranian Revolution

The revolutionary storm that swept away the 'King of Kings' in Iran in 1979 is still a source of much debate and mass confusion in the international workers' movement. Was it a revolution, a counter revolution? What was the involvement of the United States, the imperialists and the role of the USSR? Was it a workers' revolution or an Islamic revolution? Below are a few articles that I beleive will clarify some of the issues as well as raising more questions.
