Abstract
This article argues that the Islamic Republic was the only alternative available to the international bourgeoisie in the face of the revolutionary crisis of 1979 in Iran during the Cold War. The task of the Islamic Republic was suppressing the revolution, which gave it a ‘provisional’ character in the eyes of the international bourgeoisie. However, the collapse of the Soviet Union that necessitated a re-definition of all bourgeois institutions and alliances, the defeat of the no-conservative policies in the Middle East, and the acute economic crisis of capitalist system prevent the Islamic Republic from arriving at its logical end and its replacement with an ‘ordinary’ bourgeois state.
