  4. Why did the U.S cut off relations during the1979 Iranian Revolution?

  5. Because Iranians had taken over the American Embassy in Tehran during the revolution. Fifty-two US citizens were held hostage for 444 days from November 4, 1979 to January 20, 1981. A group of Islamic students and militants took over the Embassy of the United States.

  6. Iran became a theocracy, the Ayatollah is the “supreme leader”! A theocracy is a government that is based on religion (or ruled by religious leaders) Opposite of a secular government…. Ultra Conservative Muslims established a “theocracy” in Iran.

  8. The Ayatollah is in power for life & the most important leader in the country. There are elections for the President of Iran, but you must be part of the “ruling party” and selected by the Ayatollahs. The Theocracy is still in power…Ayatollah & Pres. Ahmadinejad rule over the country.
