The Henry Jackson Society is pleased to welcome back Iranian dissident Amir Abbas Fakhravar to discuss whether the time has come for Iran to adopt a universal, ideology-free constitution and whether this transition could be realized in today’s Iran—ultimately enhancing its international standing.
In his recent book, The Spirit of the Constitutional Law, Amir Abbas Fakhravar outlines practical mechanisms for such a transition, drawing from Iran’s history and other historical case studies. His research also suggests ways to resolve complex conflicts, such as the Israel-Hamas war, and to address the challenges posed by Iran’s IRGC-backed proxies, including the Houthis and Hezbollah.
