I was a young man, in my last year of high school, when the Iranian Islamic revolution became a reality. That was 1979. I had just returned home for the summer from my studies in the United States. The crowds started to gather in the streets demanding freedom and democracy. They hated the monarchy and all it represented. As the state of social unrest increased and tensions heightened on the streets of Teheran, I was forced to cut my visit short and returned hastily to New York. That was the last time I saw Iran. A lot has changed since then.
