The Long War on Iran: New Events, Old Questions
Drawing on two decades of political analysis, Ghamari explore the history of US intervention in the Middle East, focusing on the enduring sanctions imposed on Iran and the persistent perception of the Islamic Republic as a major obstacle to American power.

The book examines these internal changes and shifts in Iranian politics. At a critical moment when US policy is being reshaped, The Long War on Iran is a timely reminder that, if the US fails to acknowledge Iran’s transformations, both nations will continue to face new events―and the same old questions.
