Iranian leadership infighting creates a “historical echo” that can be heard throughout the pages of my latest book, but reverberates loudest on the cover, in the title.

According to Iran International, Khamenei has been told that war with the U.S. cannot continue. The piece reads, “The historical echo is hard to miss. In the final days of the Iran-Iraq War in 1988, senior Iranian officials and commanders warned Ruhollah Khomeini that the war could no longer be sustained.

Only days earlier, Khomeini had still been insisting on continuing the war. But under the weight of those warnings, he accepted UN Security Council Resolution 598 and ended the conflict, a decision he famously likened to drinking from a poisoned chalice.”
