Successful Iranians

What if you could witness the 1979 revolution of a nation through the eyes of someone who lived it? Join us for an insightful conversation with Amir Tahiri, an esteemed Iranian-born journalist and scholar, as he takes us on a political journey of Iran's revolution.
Amir's firsthand experiences as the executive editor of Iran's largest daily newspaper, Kayhan, offer a unique perspective on the Shah's leadership, the rise of Khomeini, and the seismic shifts that reshaped Iran and its global relationships.
Join us as we dissect the economic and political paradigms that challenge conventional wisdom, like the perceived links between democracy and wealth. Amir unpacks the Shah's industrial ambitions, the strategic errors that facilitated Khomeini's ascent, and the complex geopolitical dance between Iran and the United States. Through detailed anecdotes and critical analysis, we expose the misinformation and external influences that fueled the revolution, providing a rich narrative that illuminates the nuances of this pivotal moment in history.
Finally, we celebrate Iran's cultural resilience and the boundless creativity of the Iranian people, who continue to inspire despite oppressive regimes. Amir reflects on the enduring spirit of Iranians and their potential for greatness, amplified by social media's transformative power.
