It’s time for another revolution in Iran
No regime lasts forever. Totalitarian regimes frequently look immovable but often collapse surprisingly quickly. Think of apartheid in South Africa or Communism in Central & Eastern Europe.
What is happening in Iran right now may be the death throes of the current regime. We must hope so.
I visited the country in 2009, a year in which there were massive protests which unfortunately failed to topple the government. My account of that trip includes information on the history of Iran and the nature of the regime.
Then and now the people Iran are crying out for change and justice. But it takes enormous courage to go out on the streets and face the various militias.
After my trip, I was moved to write a short story called “The Man From Iran”. Recently, I viewed an amazing film which will give you a flavour of what is happening in Iran now where there is a news blackout: “The Seed Of The Sacred Fig”.
