## Resource

In Part 3 of our four-part series, we explore what happened after the revolution and how Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini transformed Iran from a monarchy into an Islamic Republic that would reshape politics across the Middle East because once the monarchy fell, the battle over Iran’s future had only just begun. Hostile History is once again joined by historian Roham Alvandi from the London School of Economics and Political Science as we continue our journey
