The islamist revolution would have happened whether the US/UK-backed Shah/royalist faction or the Soviet-backed National Front/socialist faction were in power.Strange how you don't bring up what the CIA did in the 50's which lead to 79.
Khommeni was effectively a non-aligned third party who successfully seized power; and suppression of the National Front party by the Islamic Republic shows that the islamists would have made their move against either faction regardless.
