The Islamic Republic of Iran celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution this week and if we’re to believe the Dutch New York Times reporter Thomas Erdbrink, Iranians came out in droves to celebrate the event.

The NYT reporter, who is married to an Iranian woman, has a habit of strolling around in Tehran like a tourist and talking to ordinary Iranians, who don’t dare to criticize the Islamist regime of Supreme Leader Ayatolah Ali Khamenei.

As a result, you will seldom read in the NYT what’s really going on in Iran and with its role in the world.

So, for example, if Erdbrink interviews regime clerics he’s careful not to ask tough questions. Instead he quotes them saying the Revolution has brought “freedom and evolution” and that there “few Iranians who do not like the clerics.”

If one really wants to know what kind of 'evolution' the Islamic Revolution has brought to the world, one should read a new report by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change called “The fundamentals of Iran’s Islamic Revolution.”

The report quotes the founder of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini who, in 1979, famously said: “The Iranian people’s revolution is only a point in the start of the revolution of the great world of Islam.”

Forty years later Iran has succeeded in exporting the Islamic Revolution and is increasingly forming a direct threat not only to Israel and the Sunni Arab states, but to the world at large.

“Western policymakers have severely underestimated the extent of Iran’s commitment to upholding and exporting 1979’s revolutionary ideology,” the Blair Institute writes in its report.

“Iran is as committed to exporting the Islamic Revolution today as it was in 1979,” according to the authors of the report who furthermore stated that the 2015 landmark nuclear deal did not achieve what the Obama Administration naively hoped for: A change in Iran’s behaviour.

“A determination to eradicating Israel is entrenched across the Iranian establishment,” the Blair Institute found, analyzing speeches by both ‘hard liners’ as well as so-called moderates like President Hassan Rouhani and Minister of Foreign Affairs Javad Zarif. READ MORE
