Bharatvaarta 222 - Quo Vadis, Iran? | Esfandyar Batmanghelidj | Velina Tchakarova | Bharatvaarta

Domestically, Iran has experienced a political and cultural shift with the rise of religious and conservative elements, leading to increased tensions between the government and opposition groups. On the foreign front, Iran has become more isolated due to its nuclear program, which has led to harsh economic sanctions imposed by the international community.
