In their latest book, Emmanuel Razavi and Jean-Marie Montali reopen the case of the Iranian Revolution and the way it was received in France. From Rouhollah Khomeini’s exile in Neauphle-le-Château to the uprisings of 2025-2026, they put 50 years of ideological narratives on trial, reassess the Pahlavi dynasty, trace the Marxist, Palestinian and Islamist networks that fueled the revolution, and examine Iran’s political future. Part investigation, part indictment and part defense brief, the book, illustrated by Alfred Yaghobzadeh’s photographs, sets the Iran of the mullahs against another Iran: the Iran of kings, poets, rebellious women and a young generation seeking to reclaim its history.
