Iran: Revolution in retreat offers a nuanced, multi-dimensional perspective of the internal and external forces threatening the modern Islamic Republic as it navigates a critical historical juncture. From the dangerous brinkmanship of its nuclear programme to the volatile shifts in regional alliances and a direct 12-day war with Israel in early 2025, this e-book provides a front-row seat to a regime fighting for both its domestic legitimacy and its geopolitical survival. Curated by Stanly Johny, the International Affairs Editor of The Hindu, this volume features contributions from a distinguished panel of subject matter experts, including former Indian ambassadors, senior research fellows from prestigious institutes, and international security analysts. Read this exclusive publication to explore a nation grappling with the gradual decay of its original revolutionary ideals, its “Resistance Economy” that is designed to survive but not thrive, and the future of the “Axis of Resistance”. It is an essential resource for anybody who wishes to understand the complexities of West Asian policy, including India’s delicate strategic balancing act involving the Chabahar port, and the broader implications of Iran’s high-stakes struggle for longevity.
