On February 11 2019, the Islamic Republic of Iran marked the 40th anniversary of the overthrow of its monarchy after a popular revolution.

  • What is next for Iran going forward and how has its domestic and international outlook shifted over the last four decades?

  • Will political and economic corruption, often discussed as institutionalized in Iran’s governing systems remain prevalent?

  • What effect will continued sanctions have on both domestic unrest and the Iranian economy?

  • And how does Iran define its own role in the Middle East?
