The correct answer is "Ayatollah Khomeini".

The Iranian revolution was a series of events that led to the end of the Monarchy in Iran in 1979. King Mohammed Reza, whose regime was backed by the US government, was overthrown of power by a revolutionary Islamic group led by Ayatollah Khomeini. Reza left for exile on January 16, 1979, and Khomeini would become the president of the newly formed Islamic Republic of Iran on April 1st of that same year.
