Iranian Cultural Shifts, Potential War Emergency Act
Perkins reflects on the dramatic cultural shift in Iran from the liberal Pahlavi era to the conservative rule of the Mullahs. He speculates on the domestic political implications of a potential war with Iran, suggesting that a conflict involving China could lead to the invocation of a War Emergency Act. Such a scenario, he posits, might be used as a justification for a president to seek a third term despite the 22nd Amendment.
