They didn’t vote for it! In a very short and unfair summary: They had revolution 40yrs ago. They took down Shah (who was actually very liberal and was modernizing the country) to replace kingdom system with democracy! A revolution that was supported by west by the way and was promising democracy and freedom. But when they took power, everywhere has changed. Basically they lied about revolution’s agenda to people. There are some conspiracy theories suggesting that CIA did it to destabilize the country because Shah(who happen to be US allied) had a lot of influence on Oil industry and Iran was buying a lot of assets, and stocks around the world.
