11. Influence of Revolutionary Ideology
Revolutionary ideas, particularly those promoted by Ayatollah Khomeini, galvanized diverse political groups—from Islamists to leftists—around the common goal of ending Pahlavi rule. Khomeini’s concept of velayat-e faqih (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist) provided a unifying framework that transcended ideological differences. This ideological cohesion was instrumental in mobilizing mass support and orchestrating the revolution’s success (en.wikipedia.org).
