Iran and Revolution: The Historical Context
Iranians are perhaps at the precipice of another revolution. To understand the historical cycle of political revolutions in Iran, see this excellent piece from The New Republic:

Just as the revolutionary moment comes closer, the repressive apparatus of the Iranian state will certainly accelerate its crackdown on ordinary people, intellectuals, and opposition forces of a religious and secular hue. But I feel this time the people will continue to fight on for their legitimate rights. Repression will not stop the movement of the Iranian people, which is bold, brave, and morally courageous.
