"Mass Protests in Iran - From Resistance to Overthrow" examines the various periods of mass protest in Iran since the 1979 revolution. The author, Masoud Kazemzadeh, analyzes the repressive nature of the Islamic fundamentalist regime, highlighting its totalitarian tendencies, economic mismanagement, and the role of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in suppressing dissent. Kazemzadeh explores the dynamics of power struggles within the regime's elite factions and the impact of these on the protests, notably those of 2009 and 2017-2018. He focuses on the increasing role of women in the protests and the global support for the movement, particularly the 2022-2023 protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini. The author concludes by discussing policy ramifications for democratic countries, highlighting the importance of global solidarity and more robust support for the Iranian people in their quest for freedom and democracy.
