Which of the following was true of Iran in the 1970s?

In 1979, Iran’s Islamic Revolution overthrew Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and Ayatollah Khomeini returned from exile and became the country’s leading authority. The shah faced growing opposition, so he did not rule without resistance. The revolution brought Islamic fundamentalists to power rather than causing them to lose power, and Khomeini was not overthrown.
