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. The 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 programme for at least a decade it doesn't irreversibly dismantle any part of it. With internal Iranian politics stabilising 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? This 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\nTitle: Iran Resurgent The Rise And Rise Of The Shia State\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Abedin Mahan\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: C Hurst \u0026amp; Co Publishers Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781849049559\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 272 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 7\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: International Relations","brand":"Abedin Mahan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49625904316721,"sku":"IN-G-9781849049559","price":39.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781849049559.jpg?v=1724942320","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781849049559-iran-resurgent-the-rise-and-rise-of-the-shia-state","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
