Today, more than four decades after its founding, the Islamic Republic of Iran is arguably at the weakest point in its history. At home, deteriorating domestic conditions, a profoundly disaffected population, and an increasingly unpopular official ideology have helped to galvanize opposition to the country's ruling clerical regime. Meanwhile, mounting economic and political pressure from the United States have taken aim at the country's economy and its malign regional behavior. The end result of this confluence of forces could very well be a new political upheaval within the country.
The Fight for Iran is an in-depth look at that potential for change, as well as at the beliefs, ideas and values of the different factions that now exist within the Iranian opposition. It represents a chronicle of what, forty-one years after the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's Islamic Revolution, has become a profound political struggle for the soul of one of the Middle East's most important nations.

Berman, senior vice president at the American Foreign Policy Council, has usefully and briefly compiled information on leading Iranian opposition groups and the challenges facing them in this collection of previously published essays. Readers cannot get a quicker, better briefing than The Fight for Iran.
Middle East Quarterly
[The Fight For Iran] is a reminder that the people of Iran have been living with upheaval for a very long time… Some of Berman’s dissident groups want the United States to overthrow the mullahs and others want Washington to convene a “congress” of change-makers. Some want the U.S. to strangle the economy and others want it to strangle the government. None want a return to the JCPOA or a revival of the money spigot to the mullahs.
