At the heart of the current U.S. war against Iran is an
inconvenient truth: that the United States is, in many ways,
responsible for creating the very regime it now seeks to topple.

Today, Scott Anderson, a New York Times Magazine contributor,
tells the story of America’s outsize role in the Islamic
Revolution, and why all these years later we’re still no closer
to understanding Iran.

Guest: Scott Anderson, a contributing writer for
The New York Times Magazine.

Background reading: It has been a trying time for the Islamic
republic of Iran.
