Yes, and the USA & UK were also largely responsible for the fall of the Shah, though it will take awhile for them to admit this. It wad due to two factors:

1) The USA and UK became tired of the Shah because he was trying to become ringleader of OPEC and was hiking oil prices during a period of economic downturn in USA and UK. Since William E. Simon's petrodollar deal with Saudi Arabia in 1974, the USA and UK increasingly grew dissatisfied with the Shah, who Simon called a "nut". There are declassified CIA documents that call the Shah megalomaniac and had to have his power stripped.

"THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY HAS COMPILED A DISTURBING PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE OF THE SHAH OF IRAN, WHOM THE UNITED STATES IS BUILDING UP TO BE THE GUARDIAN OF ITS INTERESTS IN THE PERSIAN GULF. 3. THIS SECRET STUDY PORTRAYS THE SHAH AS A BRILLIANT BUT DANGEROUS MEGALOMANIAC, WHO IS LIKELY TO PURSUE HIS OWN AIMS IN DISREGARD OF U.S. INTERESTS. 4. ALREADY, HE HAS PUSHED HARDER THAN ANY OTHER OIL POTENTATE FOR STRATOSPHERIC OIL PRICES. YET SECRETARY OF STATE HENRY A. KISSINGER HAS OVERLOOKED THE ECONOMIC DAMAGE THIS UNCLASSIFIED"

2) Near the end of the Shah's reign, he began improving the country, with the White Reforms, but by then it was too late in the eyes of Iranians who felt oppressed by his SAVAK forces. Many Iranians were beguiled by Utopian socialist ideals, and the UK recognized this. Using their propaganda outlet of BBC, they began giving Khomeini a platform and having his speeches play on radio for Iranians to grow more anti-Shah.

Carter backed Khomeini, calling him a saint, also, and it was a part of the Anglo-American hegemonic strategy to oust the Shah. Eventually Khomeini became rogue.

Most Iranians felt tricked.

3) Overall, I'd say the revolution was due to two things: 1) USA/UK growing dissatisfied with Shah due to oil/petrodollar economics, 2) Iranians being brainwashed by leftist propaganda spread by the West in order to open way for Khomeini taking over.

I don't consider myself American. I don't choose where I'm born.

I have Persian parents.

Also, it's both UK and USA's fault. They tend to work together to meddle in ME affairs over petrodollar.
