What was the role of Islamic fundamentalists in the overthrow of the Shah of Iran?

# data[].attributes.body
Their role in the actual overthrow was minimal.

Some protests were by Islamic Fundamentalists in late 1978 and 1979.

Majority of protests were from Communists, Women's Rights Groups, Secularists, Social Democrats, and other left-wing groups.

In October 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini returned and formed Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

This solidified clerical rule and ended with repression of the Communists, Women's Rights Groups, Secularists, and the Social Democrats who started the Iranian Revolution.
