Iran is a civilization that has preserved its distinctive identity since ancient times. At the same time, it is a powerful state, laying claim to leadership in the Middle East. Naturally, along this path, Iran faces ambitious competitors prepared for a fierce, uncompromising struggle. Long-standing antagonism between Tehran and Tel Aviv led in the summer of 2025 to a brief, yet extremely intense and dangerous armed conflict, which the world watched with bated breath.

Iran is also closely linked to its other neighbors in the region. Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and other Persian Gulf countries—it is impossible to properly understand Iran's recent history without paying due attention to its surroundings. Oil has been another very unique factor in the fate of the Middle East for many decades.

What was Iran's path in the 20th century? How did external forces influence Iranian political and social life? What did Iranian society ultimately achieve by creating an Islamic republic in place of the Shah's monarchy? Renowned historian Alex Kaplan offers comprehensive answers to all these questions.
