In doing so, it deftly highlights the opportunities and constraints that the Islamic Republic confronts in its effort to establish its dominance in the Persian Gulf - and underscores the challenges that the United States and others face in seeking to foil that ambition.' James M. Lindsay, Council on Foreign Relations 'This is a book of impressive scope and depth, providing one of the most valuable and insightful examinations of the Iranian military and its capabilities. Defending Iran is essential reading for anyone seeking a thorough understanding of the country's politics and the role, composition, and profile of its armed forces.' Mehran Kamrava, Georgetown University Qatar 'Gawdat Baghat and Anoushiravan Ehteshami, two well-respected experts, have produced an important and insightful analysis of Iran's defense and security doctrine tracing its evolution from pre-revolutionary days to the current context deftly weaving together the nexus of ideology, threat perceptions and national interests amid the changing strategic international and regional landscape.'
