For almost half a century, the Islamic Republic of Iran has fused revolutionary ideology, clerical authority, and modern statecraft into a system that reshaped the Middle East. With the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the severe damage the Islamic Republic has taken, is the regime's long shadow finally fading away? In Mosaic's feature essay this month, Hussein Aboubakr Mansour argues that it is:
This is the end. Not the end of the war, but it is the end of the Islamic Republic, at least, as it has existed since 1979, if not altogether. And whatever emerges from the rubble of Khamenei's compound and the wreckage of his nuclear program and the ruins of his proxy empire will not be the same thing. It cannot be.
A month into the war, with the regime still launching missiles across the region, does that analysis still hold? And if a ceasefire is reached, what will happen to the Islamic Republic then?
On Tuesday, March 31, at 12:00 pm ET, Aboubakr Mansour will answer those questions among others in conversation with Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver. They'll be joined by the Israeli scholar of national security, Dan Schueftan. Together, they'll take stock of recent developments, revisit the arguments of Aboubakr Mansour's essay, and think about what Iran's future means for the region and beyond.
