As the world marks the 43rd anniversary of the 1979 Iranian Revolution this month, desperation and resignation have come to define Washington’s actions towards the Islamic Republic.
So why am I optimistic?
The theocracy in Tehran is not at all what those who deposed the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi had in mind when they toppled the dynastic leader.
