 the United States, The Iran Agenda Today explores the turbulent recent 
 history between the two countries and reveals how it has led to a misguided 
 showdown over nuclear technology. Foreign correspondent Reese Erlich notes 
 that all the major U.S. intelligence agencies agree Iran has not had a 
 nuclear  weapons program since at least 2003. He explores why Washington 
 nonetheless continues saber rattling, and he provides a detailed critique 
 of mainstream media coverage of Iran. The book further details the popular 
 protests that have rocked Tehran despite repression by the country's own 
 Deep State. Erlich offers insights on Iran's domestic politics, popular 
 culture, and diverse populations over this recent era. His analysis draws 
 on past interviews with high-ranking Iranian officials, the former shah's 
 son, Reza Pahlavi, and Iranian exiles in Los Angeles, as well as his trip 
 to Tehran with actor Sean Penn.  In a starred review of Inside Syria, 
 Publisher's Weekly wrote that Erlich's "insights and conclusions are 
 objective and valuable... essential reading for understanding the current 
 turmoil in the Middle East."\n\nNorman Solomon is the author of a dozen 
 books including "War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us 
 to Death. He is also the Founder and Executive Director of the Institute 
 for Public Accuracy, where he coordinates the ExposeFacts.org program for 
 whistleblowers and press freedom, and co-founder of 
 RootsAction.org.\n\nSabrina Jacobs is host and producer of the popular A 
 Rude Awakening, aired on KPFA, Mondays 3:30-4pm.\n\n$12 advance, $15 
 door.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2018/10/22/18818397.php
