The 1979 Islamic Revolution triggered a cold war between Iran and the United States – former fast friends. Despite the US’s relentless efforts at containment, Iran has risen as a formidable power in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Gaza. Its newfound status not only frustrates the US but has swiftly become a thorn in the side of Israel and Saudi Arabia. How did Iran rise so rapidly? And as it faces ever increasing pressure at home and abroad, can it hold onto its power? Mohsen Milani guides us through the twists and turns of the Iran–US rivalry in the battlefields of the Middle East. Going from the fall of the Shah to revolutionary Iran’s alliances with Syria, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iraqi militias, and the Houthis in the Axis of Resistance, Milani lifts the veil on Iran’s foreign policy strategy and its implications for the region, the US and Iran itself.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In recent decades, the Islamic Republic of Iran has poured roughly $50bn into foreign interventions. Despite facing sanctions on par with North Korea and being an international pariah, Iran has created its own sphere of influence. The future of Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen is intertwined with the fate of the Islamic Republic. What spurred Iran s rise - and what are its motivations now? Mohsen Milani makes the case that Iran is guided by two principles- power and deterrence. The Iran-Iraq war provided Iran the impetus to build its own military-industrial complex, while its funding, training and arming of Hezbollah - the only army not to lose against Israel - acts as a warning for anyone with designs on Iran s territory. But power has a price. As domestic unrest rises, Iran simply cannot afford its attempts at regional dominance any longer. How Iran became a force to be reckoned with in the worlds most contested region. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
