As a result of the Islamic Revolution of 1979, the largest country in the Middle East established a Shiite theocracy. Despite Iran's readiness for negotiations and compromise, it became the main target of the sanction policies of the United States, Israel, and the Arab Emirates, further escalating tensions in an already volatile region.
Medea Benjamin, a globally renowned expert on the Middle East, unravels the complex relationships between Iran and Western countries and its Middle Eastern neighbors, while also recounting the country's history from pre-colonial times to gaining independence. Drawing on personal experiences with Iranian politicians, activists, and ordinary people, the author debunks common myths about Iran's system of governance, religious practices, and the lifestyle of its population, offering readers a key to understanding the remarkably diverse Iranian people who have been living under the harshest economic sanctions for 44 years.
By describing the driving forces and obstacles to the development of Iranian society, the book provides a realistic and hopeful view of what the future of this country could be.
