The Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini was a Muslim Shiite who took control of Iran after a revolution overthrew the western-backs Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in 1979. The Ayatollah held American hostages until President Carter, who had admitted the Shah into the United States for medical treatment, left the presidency on Jan. 20, 2981.
