On Tuesday 13 September 2022, Iran’s police forces brutally beat
Mahsa Amini, only 22 years old. By Friday she is dead. By Sunday,
women have taken to the streets across Iran, setting their
headscarves on fire and cursing the Supreme Leader. Months later,
workers down their tools and businesses close. The battle-cry
everywhere: Women, Life, Freedom. This isn’t a passing protest
wave – this is a revolution. Arash Azizi guides us through Iran
ablaze, history being made in real time. From an International
Women’s Day celebrated inside Iran’s most notorious prison to
mass strikes in Kurdistan, ordinary Iranians are risking everything
to bring down the regime. Over a year later, one thing’s clear:
no Supreme Leader can turn the clock back. A different Iran is
within sight; Azizi shows us what it might look like.
'An excellent contribution to our knowledge of Iran and Soleimani.'
Kim Ghattas, author of Black Wave When the US assassinated Qassem
Soleimani, he was one of the most powerful men in Iran. Known as
'the shadow commander', he enacted the wishes of the country's
Supreme Leader across the Middle East, establishing the Islamic
Republic as a major force in the region. But all this was a long
way from where he began - on the margins of a nation whose ruler
was seen as a friend of the West. Through Soleimani, Arash Azizi
examines how Iran came to be where it is today. Providing a rare
insight into a country whose actions are often discussed but seldom
understood, he reveals the global ambitions underlying Iran's proxy
wars, geopolitics and nuclear programme.
