{"product_id":"iran-resurgent-mahan-abedin-9781849049559","title":"Iran Resurgent: The Rise and Rise of the Shia State","description":"Iran has emerged from decades of isolation and struggle to become a leading, if not the pre-eminent, regional power. Iran projects its influence throughout the Middle East and parts of Central Asia. Moreover, Iranian diplomacy is active on the world stage, with long-term projects in Africa and South America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe landmark nuclear deal of July 2015 was a major triumph and saw the Islamic Republic successfully negotiate with several world powers to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Crucially, whilst the nuclear deal restricts Iran's nuclear programmed for at least a decade, it doesn't irreversibly dismantle any part of it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith internal Iranian politics stabilizing around a centrist administration led by President Rouhani, the country is set to continue on a path of regional strategic growth. But with clear signs that the Trump administration is determined to contain Iran's regional influence, what is the risk of a military confrontation? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book argues that Iran has developed sufficient diplomatic strength and credible military capability to deter a full-scale US military assault. But absent a dramatic lowering of tensions, there remains a risk of limited clashes, with far-reaching consequences for regional security.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mahan Abedin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849049556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849049559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hurst \u0026amp; Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Mahan Abedin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938992619775,"sku":"9781849049559","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_493d175b-17e3-4799-9991-67fe99a6c261.jpg?v=1681438860","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/iran-resurgent-mahan-abedin-9781849049559","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
