"The recent unrest in Iran, with the third mass protests in the past six years,
has left the theocratic regime wounded but not out.

Iran is no stranger to such unrest. In 1979, similar circumstances led to the
Iranian revolution. However, Iranians soon became disappointed that the
revolution did not deliver what they had been promised. So while the ideology
of the revolution collapsed, the regime remains in place.

To understand this, we need to go back to the emergence of modern Iran."
