More than any other US President, Jimmy Carter’s years in office were defined by his dealings with Iran.

Earlier this month, he announced that he will undergo treatment for cancer. Most people are wishing him well, but they’re also talking about his legacy.

×Podcast: Iran’s Vicious Circle of Power by IranWire
More than any other US President, Jimmy Carter’s years in office were defined by his dealings with Iran. His inability to free US Embassy staff taken hostage by Ayatollah Khomeini’s new regime cost him reelection in 1980. He still says his failure to rescue them is his biggest regret. Carter is 90 now. Earlier this month, he announced that he will undergo treatment for cancer. Most people are wishing him well, but they’re also talking about his legacy. This week, Roland Elliott Brown looks at the big decisions Jimmy Carter made about Iran.…
This week marks the 62nd anniversary of the overthrow Iran’s popular prime minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, by the CIA and MI6. Many Iranians see Mossadegh as Iran's last great statesman. He nationalised Iran's oil industry, modernised Iran's economy, and balanced the power of the Shah. For them, his overthrow symbolises the beginning of Iran's many political misfortunes. But this year, as Iran seals a deal with the US over its nuclear program, some Iranians say they have found a new Mossadegh: Foreign Minister Javad Zarif. Does the analogy hold up? This week, Roland Elliott Brown speaks to three historians to find out.…
Before the 1979 revolution, Iran was full of foreign travellers. People came for the splendors of antiquity, and for the best modern art collection in the Middle East. But after the Islamic Revolution and the Iran-Iraq War, Iran’s tourism industry never fully recovered. Now, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says he wants to double tourist numbers to Iran. And he’s succeeding. Last year, tourist numbers jumped by 35 percent. Meanwhile, Iran’s human rights situation keeps getting worse. As tourist numbers spike, so do executions. This week, Roland Elliott Brown looks at the politics, and the ethics, of traveling in Iran.…
Azar Nafisi, the author of Reading Lolita in Tehran, is starting a new campaign about books and human rights. It’s called #BooksSave. Right after the 1979 revolution in Iran, Nafisi saw how the new government targeted writers and thinkers. Now, she sees a clear connection between the life of the imagination and the rights of individuals everywhere, not just in Iran. She wants other people to see it, too, and to share their experiences online. This week, Roland Elliott Brown speaks to her about the campaign.…
The Islamic Revolution of 1979 made Iran the enemy of two great powers: Washington, and Moscow. 36 years later, Iran has signed a deal with both the US and Russia, along with four other major powers, over its nuclear program. Now, there is plenty of talk about better relations between Iran and the West. But what did Russia get from the Iran deal? Roland Elliott Brown speaks to two experts -- one American, one Russian -- to find out.…
Iranian human rights defenders often feel besieged in their own country. But they can always take heart that their cause has gone global. Last week the rights of Iranians were at the center of a political debate on the other side of the world--in the National Congress of Brazil. Brazilian diplomats say Iran is going to improve its human rights record. But Brazilians who care about human rights aren’t buying it.…
The United States is home to about 470, 000 people of Iranian descent. That’s the largest number of Iranians anywhere outside Iran. But despite the size of the community, hostile relations between Iran and the US often make Iranian-Americans uneasy. This is especially true during US presidential elections. That’s why this year, in anticipation of 2016 elections, 37 prominent Iranian-Americans have signed an open letter to US presidential candidates.…
Six years ago, millions of Iranians filled the streets in spectacular protests that caught the whole world by surprise. The protests began over claims that the incumbent president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, had stolen Iran’s 2009 election. But when protesters started challenging the very legitimacy of Iran’s political system, security forces cracked down hard. So what happened to the Green Movement? This month, IranWire polled Iranians to find out.…
Iran's former president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, once said there were no homosexuals in Iran. In the West, meanwhile, many people assume Iran executes people just for being gay. This Week, Roland Elliott Brown looks at both claims, and tries to find out what Iranian homosexuals are really up against.
