The Iranian Doctrine Quotes

― Soroosh Shahrivar, The Iranian Doctrine

“Ambition rests on something deeper than policy. It rests on how we understand ourselves.”
― Soroosh Shahrivar, The Iranian Doctrine

“Iranians are too proud for despair. We are too old a civilisation to collapse into that pit of darkness.”
― Soroosh Shahrivar, The Iranian Doctrine
