Iran Won't Repeat 1979

UANI Senior Advisor Saied Golkar writes: "Iran is living through one of the most dangerous moments in its post-revolutionary history. Nationwide protests have become sustained rather than episodic. As a new wave of unrest spread across the country, violence intensified. These events have revived a familiar question: Is Iran heading toward another 1979? The temptation to rely on this analogy is understandable. Images of mass mobilization and rapidly recurring protests evoke memories of the final months of the Shah’s rule. Yet the comparison is ultimately misleading."
