Iran is a unique country with a glorious history and has taken an important step on the path of modern civilization.
However, a revolution changed everything, and people chose Iran's savior Khomeini, marking the beginning of religious governance.
The tense relations with countries such as the United States and Israel inevitably appear on the historical stage.
Today, we will review the winding history between the United States and Iran.
The struggle between the United States and Iran has been ongoing for 40 years, and the relationship between the two countries has been frozen for a long time.
From the past Pahlavi era to the turbulent period of the Khomeini era, and then to the challenges of the Khamenei era, the relationship between the two countries has sometimes eased and sometimes become tense.
The Pahlavi era upheld the concepts of industrial development, education for the rejuvenation of the country, and oil rejuvenation, advocating pro American sentiment.
During the Khomeini era, the Islamic dream was revived through jihad and the practice of the Quran.
Now, Khamenei has inherited Khomeini's will, firmly adhering to religious governance and implementing strict discipline.
Although he raised the age of marriage for women from 9 to 13, this is considered an improvement.
How did the United States and Iran get to where they are now? Let's take a look at history.
In 1976, Iranian President Ahmadinejad wrote a letter to US President Bush, citing a famous quote from history.
This historical sentence expresses the values of the Muhammad era.
However, history tells us that Iran is not an Arab, but a descendant of ancient Persians.
They believe in Zoroastrianism and Judaism, and have played important roles in history.
The era of Reza Khan was an important part of Iran's modernization journey.
He promoted education reform, industrial development, and social modernization, and lifted the ban on women's veils.
However, Iran's modernization has also caused a series of problems, including corruption and social inequality.
The Pahlavi dynasty launched the "White Revolution" plan, attempting to establish a modern country, but this was criticized by religious leaders.
In 1979, the Iranian people chose Khomeini, declaring the birth of the Islamic Republic.
After Khomeini came to power, Iran began an era of religious and political unity, implementing strict Islamic law and carrying out large-scale social reforms.
The United States once supported Khomeini, but its relationship with Iran deteriorated until the signing of the US Iran Agreement.
However, Iran has not abandoned its pursuit of religious and regional influence, leading to its isolation in the international community.
Despite Khomeini's passing, his thoughts still guide Iran's future.
However, history may prove that Iran led by Khomeini has embarked on a challenging path.
