Introduction An ideological battle is taking place in Iran. The main challenge that Iran has been facing since the 1979 Islamic Revolution is the confrontation between tradition and modernity. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Iran's supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran from the Revolution until his death in 1989, understood the challenge and tried to find a compromise between the two. 1 However, he believed that when modernity becomes a synonym for liberalism and for Western civilization ...

For more than a year, the Iranian population has taken to the streets to ask for more rights and more jobs. However, it seems that the West became aware only now of the existence of demonstrations in Iran against the dictatorial regime.

This became clear with the elections of June 2021, in which the real winner was not the current ultra-conservative president ...

The military debacle also coincided with the anniversary of the terror attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, and furnished a safe space. MEMRI presents ...
