Thirty years after the founding of the Islamic republic, the ideals that inspired the uprising continue to inform every day life in modern Iran.

So how has the revolution managed to sustain itself through war, international isolation, economic sanctions, and regional turbulence?

And how has Iranian society changed since the seismic upheaval of 1979?

  • Great program Aljazeera. Very informative

  • If western nations want to have a nuke free Middle East, they should maybe start with removing them from the only ME country that has them in their hot-headed stepchild aka Israel, only then can they have some ground to stand on in asking the other ME countries to not have them

  • I actually thought things would change in this years election, but I guess I was wrong. Now Iran will become even more radical, and that wont help much on the nuclear issue that Israel and the Arabs fear.

  • Agreed with everything, but don't forget Iran was attacked by Iraq, the mullah's didn't start that war. It was a war started by the US trying to beat the Islamic Regime. Iran defended its borders against the invasion - effectively defeating the US. But yes, everything else you said is right on point.

  • Fuck islam and its islamic regime occupier in Iran

  • stfu

  • khomenie is the best

  • Actually, that American analyst is mistaken; there are no longer any US bases in Central Asia.

  • The Legacy of this revolution is that Islamic Republic ranks number one in heroin addiction in the world, number two in executions of children after china and let's not forget the difference in population. 3 million killed in an unnecessary 8 year war with Iraq and 6 million in exile. Public hanging and stoning and tortures of political prisoners. What a LEGACY of a fascist regime keeping 70 million hostage
