Drawing on memoirs, oral histories, and original in-depth interviews with Iranian decision makers, Nasr brings to light facts and events in Iran鈥檚 political history that have been overlooked until now. He traces the roots of Iran鈥檚 strategic outlook to its experiences over the past four decades of war with Iraq in the 1980s and the subsequent U.S. containment of Iran, invasion of Iraq in 2003, and posture toward Iran thereafter. Please join the Arab Gulf States Institute in welcoming Vali Nasr, author of Iran's Grand Strategy.
