1:With dark rumours swirling of an attack on Iran's nuclear programme, this new book by Trita Parsi is well-timed.2:The founder of the National Iranian American Council in Washington, DC, details American diplomacy with the Islamic Republic under Barack Obama.3:His analysis of the grim stalemate that has characterised relations between the Great Satan and the mullahs since 1979 is both absorbing and frustrating.It is a tale of missed opportunities, obduracy and short-sightedness, all which are pushing the Middle East towards greater instability.

1:特里塔·帕塞新作的面世，伴随着针对伊朗核计划的漫天谣言，来的正是时候。2:作者曾创立了位于华盛顿特区的伊朗裔美国人全国理事会，在本书中，他详细阐述了奥巴马领导下的美国政府对伊斯兰共和国的外交路线。3:自1979年起，“大魔头”和“毛拉”之间的关系一直深陷僵局，作者对这一严峻状态的分析既引人入胜又令人沮丧，书中讲述了中东是如何因为错失良机、顽固执拗、目光短浅等缺点而一步步陷入更大的动荡之中。
