Perceptions and Narratives of Security: The Iranian Revolutionary Guards and the Lessons of the Iran-Iraq War

Open to the Public

The seminar will examine how the Iranian Revolutionary Guards have constructed a particular history or narrative of the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988). It will analyze the key features of that narrative and how the Revolutionary Guards have translated those features into lessons that should guide Iran's national security policies.

Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
