Today's history lesson brought to you by Wikipedia.

Demonstrations started in Iran in October 1977 and when they escalated in January of 1978 the Shah went into exile, it was the 16th.

The reign collapsed on February 11th. Iran voted to be an Islamic Republic on 1st April 1979.

The Russians invaded Afghanistan on 24th December 1979.

So all in all a busy time in that part of the world back in 1979.

We all know Wikipedia is never wrong, so there you have it.
