The Myth of Revolution in Iran
Book •
Niall Ferguson contends that Western hopes for a revolution in Iran misunderstand the situation as a counterrevolution, which history shows typically fails.
He critiques media conflation of revolutions and counterrevolutions, referencing the 1979 Iranian Revolution and misguided optimism from figures like Richard Falk about Ayatollah Khomeini.
Ferguson highlights the regime's enduring theocratic fascism over nearly 47 years.
