A timely primer on the conflict between the United States and Iran
by scholars of Middle Eastern politics who advocate diplomacy and
de-escalation. The United States and Iran seem to be permanently
locked in a dangerous cycle of brinkmanship and violence. Both
countries have staged cyber attacks and recently shot down one
another's aircraft. Why do both countries seem intent on
escalation? Why did the U.S. abandon the nuclear deal (which,
according to the UN, was working)? Where can Washington and Tehran
find common ground? To address these questions and the political
and historical forces at play, David Barsamian presents the
perspectives of Iran scholars Ervand Abrahamian, Noam Chomsky,
Nader Hashemi, Azadeh Moaveni, and Trita Parsi. A follow-up to the
previously published Targeting Iran, this timely book continues to
affirm the goodwill between Iranian and American people, even as
their respective governments clash on the international stage.
Praise for ReTargeting Iran: "In a Q&A format about the
continued demonization of Iran by the U.S., [David] Barsamian gets
at the key to the deterioration of the relationship between the two
nations. ... [T]he discussion is astute and relevant."-Kirkus
Reviews "A necessary and timely education on one of the most
politically fraught and historically significant relationships of
our time. I devoured these smart, insightful interviews with five
important Iran scholars, about the struggle between two countries
that have both been our home."-Dina Nayeri, author of The
Ungrateful Refugee: What Immigrants Never Tell You "This little
book contains more wisdom about Iran than exists in the White
House, Congress, the State Department, and the Pentagon combined.
Anyone who wants to understand the world's most misunderstood
country will find no better source."-Stephen Kinzer, Author of All
the Shah's Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East
Terror "Many journalists and academics have written books about
Iran. But ReTargeting Iran fills an important gap, a book sharply
critical of U.S. policy and the Iranian government. David Barsamian
provides timely interviews with major analysts that sets the record
straight. It's a highly accessible read and a great introduction to
the U.S.-Iran conflict."-Reese Erlich, author of The Iran Agenda
Today: The Real Story Inside Iran and What's Wrong with U.S.
Policy. "ReTargeting Iran is a facts-only objective account of
where America has gone wrong, stupidly wrong-yet again-in its
foreign policy, dominated by a mythical belief that Iran has an
active nuclear weapons program. All one needs to know about the
threat is this: as of mid-2020, the United States had no less than
thirty-five military bases, manned by 65,000 soldiers, ready go to
war in the nations immediately surrounding our feared
adversary."-Seymour M. Hersh, author of Reporter: A Memoir
