Publisher for the American Enterprise Institute WA S H I N G T O N, D. Iran Unveiled: How the Revolutionary Guards Is Turning Theocracy into Military Dictatorship Ali Alfoneh Iran Unveiled: How the Revolutionary Guards Is Turning Theocracy into Military Dictatorship Iran Unveiled informs and educates anyone with an interest in Iran-US relations and the future of Middle eastern politics at a time at a time of growing tension in one of the world's most unstable but indispensable political zones. This book provides the legal, historical, ideological and military frameworks for what Alfoneh believes to be an escalating and inevitable revolution in Iran. This transformation is changing not only the economy and society in Iran, but also the Islamic Republic’s relations with the United States and its allies. As Iran experiences the most important change in its history since the revolution of 1979 and the establishment of the Islamic Republic, the regime in Tehran, traditionally ruled by the Shia clergy, is transforming into a military dictatorship dominated by the officers of the IRGC. In Iran Unveiled, Middle East expert Ali Alfoneh describes the coming revolt of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), and the implications this would have on regional and international politics.
