Iran spent decades provoking the world. Eventually, someone was going to punch back

The U.S. and Israel launched joint airstrikes on Iran on Feb. 28. Many senior Iranian leaders and military personnel have been killed over the past 10 days, while the number of casualties on the other side has been minimal.

The Iranian Revolution, which occurred between January 1978 and February 1979, included a large assortment of protests, demonstrations and riots in the streets. Khomeini and his followers were eventually able to overthrow the Shah and take control of the country.
