The case of Iranian Revolution can be interpreted in different ways in the light of the fact that it is still a revolution that continues to be written and discussed too much about. The study of the Iranian Revolution in literature, in general, confronts a growing resistance with the influence of the opposition people who oppose the oppression of the Pahlavi Dynasty dictatorship and grows under the influence of the Islamic phenomenon. However, in order to understand the Iranian Revolution, the perspective that is focused on the internal dynamics will not be sufficient. The external dynamics and the interaction of external dynamics with these actors must be a further perspective that needs to be focused to understand this particular revolution. In this article, the differences of the Iranian Revolution are evaluated in a different perspective from the point of view of the literature. Rather than explaining the revolution with the historical process, it focused on the external dynamics that constitute the historical process. While evaluating the external dynamics, it is explained that the anarchy created by the Cold War in the international system through the security dilemma, and that the internal dynamic effect of this dilemma in a strategic country such as Iran could be realized by developing the anti-imperialist identity building of Khomeini through discourse and integrating all opposition groups.
