Presented by The Center for Strategic & Diplomatic Studies
About the Event
Mohsen Milani is the author of "Iran’s Rise and Rivalry with the U.S. in the Middle East.” In this new book, Dr. Milani explains how a cold war was triggered between Iran and the U.S. after the 1979 revolution. How did Iran rise so rapidly? And as it faces ever increasing pressure at home and abroad, can it hold onto its power? Dr. Milani guides us through the twists and turns of the Iran-U.S. rivalry in the battlefields of the Middle East. Going from the fall of the Shah to revolutionary Iran’s alliances with Syria, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iraqi militias and the Houthis in the Axis of Resistance, he lifts the veil on Iran’s foreign policy strategy and its implications for the region, the U.S. and Iran itself.
Following the conversation, Dr. Milani will be available to sign books in the rotunda.
Books will be available for purchase from the USF Bookstore.
