The Triumph of Islamic Revolution in February 1979, followed by the establishment of Islamic Republic system in Iran, brought about drastic changes in all aspects of society.
The Islamic Revolution in 1979 burst upon the stage of history with a “big bang”, ushering in a global movement which aspired to bring about a convergence of Muslim political thought and cleanse it from the infiltration of Western political ideas in order to pave the way for a generation of pious Ummah.
The era of the new republic also gave precedence to economic prospects and aspirations, shifting the focus from the elites and urban areas to the destitute and rural classes and expanding access to basic services such as electricity, water and education in the countryside.
The results were brisk, leading to positive developments in the livelihoods of Iranians, helped by an influx of revenues from the boom in oil prices.
