Prof. Adnan Husain discusses the modern history of Iran from the late nineteenth century to contemporary relations with the US with friend and colleague Prof. David N. Yaghoubian of California State University-San Bernardino. We discuss Iran's traditions of statecraft and geopolitical relations with imperial powers, Russia and Britain, until the Cold War, when Iran became a pillar of US hegemony in the Middle East after subverting and overthrowing the nationalist government of Mossadegh. Prof. Yaghoubian shares his analysis of the current Iranian state's alliances with Russia and China to evade unremitting US sanctions as one of "grievances" rather than "interests" created by aggressive US policy. A wide-ranging conversation benefiting from Prof. Yaghoubian's thorough historical knowledge and trenchant political analysis.
Dr. David N. Yaghoubian is Professor of Modern west Asian and Islamic History at California State University-San Bernardino and author of "Ethnicity, Identity, and the Development of Nationalism in Iran" (Syracuse, 2014) and co-editor of "Struggle and Survival in the Modern Middle East" (3rd edition forthcoming).
