Poverty and the freedom to choose what to wear are not correlated so the 1% stat is pointless to my point. Saudis and Arabs dislike each other strongly, why would they not influence the Iranians to take such a destructive path? The Saudis also promote an extreme version of their belief and have had a long-standing rivalry with the Iranis.
An Arabic script is better than Osmanya. Facts.

isn't that spreading of radical Islam the root of the problem for a lot of things. That version has inspired a lot of groups like ISIS and Al-Shabab to commit horrible things. How is it wrong to say the Arabs (Saudis) had a bad influence on Iran?

The Persians already highly disliked there western ass licker king at the time.
Arabs did not do anything to influence the revolution in Iran, the Persians had a SHIA revolution.
There was zero independent Shia Arab countries at the time other then North Yemen, (who could barely influence Southern Yemeni Shias let alone the Persian Empire.)

Your right. If Saudi Arabia some how influenced the Islamic Revolution that creates a question.
1. Why would a Sunni Muslim country help the rise of a Shi’a Muslim power in a neighboring country?
From what I know, the revolution is the fault of the Shah. If you surpress the religious rights of your people and force secularism your going to get backlash. That backlash was the Islamic Revolution.

The Iranian govt had contemplated changing their current script. The Kazakhs also plan to change their cyrillic script to Latin by 2025 although their was a debate about using the Arabic Script
So, Iran going from a secular country to an extreme Muslim country had absolutely nothing to do with the that Saudi Arabia support?
It makes a lot of sense that they supported the Iran revolution from a political point.
Saudi Arabia at the time was trying to become the leading Muslim nation and be the superpower of the Middle East. By controlling Mecca and Medina they would have a dominant influence in the Muslim world. At the same time, you had Secular Iran being run by Shah who wanted to remove Islamic influence and put emphasis on Iran culture. The Saudis now had a big region in the middle east which they were losing influential control over. It is no secret the Saudis were promoting an extreme version of Islam and it would make sense why they would support an Islamic government in Iran.

They never supported the Iranian government because they are SHIA.
And the revolution was going to happen eventually, the Persians where sick and tired of the leadership of the Shah.

It could have been a case of using the Shia resentment to topple the regime and then also then turn Iran into an Arab puppet of Iraq but that failed after Saddam lost the War
So what they are Shias? I am saying the Saudi involvement was a political one not a religious.
It would make sense if it was for political reasons. They would rather have an Islamic (Shia) Iran than a secular Iran. I mean, why would westerners fight against Secular Iran ( Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran) and Exile Shah just for Iran to turn to the extreme opposite. Iran right now is suppressing Irani womens right to choose to wear a head veil (Hijab). How is that different from shah's rhetoric?

The Saudis care only about Salafi Islam. They don't even see Shias as Muslim half the time. Let alone suppisu a Shia revelation. Even if they somehow did support Iran, it backfired big time.

I don't believe the Saudis did it for religious reasons but for political ones and yes, Iran-Saudi relationship has gone sour.

The Iranian government did not support the antisemitism of Nazis.[2][4]Iranian embassies in European capitals occupied by the Germans, rescued over 1,500 Jews and secretly granted them Iranian citizenship, allowing them to move to Iran.[2]

Silly! They invaded because Iran was warming up to Nazi Germany. So they invaded and replaced the Reza with his son. Basically got a puppet king. The new shah repressed religion. Banned the hijab and generally didn’t reflect the wishes of the people. He was a cocktail loving rich guy. If he was like Attaturk things would’ve been better. This guy was a dumbass and he surpressed religion. He caused his own fall.

It doesn't matter that they were trading with Nazi Germany because they didn't agree with the Nazis and took in a bunch of jews into Iran.

And again, Iran then and Iran now are polar opposites. One banned hijab and one force it!

Napoleon attacked Portugal, a neutral country, for trading with Britain. When you have a superpower next door, your asking to be attacked by trading with its enemies
