As the United States bid farewell to former President Jimmy Carter on Thursday, his legacy surrounding Iran's 1979 revolution returned to the spotlight. For Yitzhak Segev, Israel's last military attaché in Iran before the revolution, it is Carter who is partially responsible for the rise of Islamic rule in Iran.
Serving as military attaché in Iran from 1977 to 1979, Segev shared the conversations he had with Carter that offer a nuanced picture of an American president grappling with supporting a democratic movement in Iran while focused on out manoeuvring the Soviet Union amid the Cold War.
