Tehran’s Hubris
“For all of Iran’s success in cultivating militant groups across the Middle East, there are tangible signs that it has overreached.”
Since its 1979 transformation from a U.S.-allied monarchy to a fervently anti-American theocracy, Karim Sadjadpour argues, the Islamic Republic of Iran has harnessed Islamist extremism better than any of its peers. And no country in the Middle East has Iran’s formidable “combination of geographic size, human capital, ancient history, and vast natural resources.” Despite all this, Tehran is far from realizing its vision of a Middle East in which there is no U.S. presence, Israel has been replaced by a Palestinian state, and the radical Shiite tyranny both inspires and dominates.
