Description
A major conversation exploring the relationship between history, memory and political identity within modern Iran.
Moving beyond conventional geopolitical analysis, the discussion examines how Karbala, martyrdom, sacrifice and collective historical memory have shaped Iranian political consciousness, national resilience and responses to conflict and external pressure.
From the Iran–Iraq War to contemporary tensions with the West, the event considers how theology, trauma and civilisational memory continue to influence the psychology of resistance within the Islamic Republic and beyond.
