When it comes to Iran, I often find myself having to go all the way back to 1979, then explaining the transformations that took place decade-by-decade, just to make sense of the present.
Linapokuja suala la Irani, huwa ninajikuta mara zote nikirudi nyuma mpaka mwaka 1979 kisha naelezea mabadiliko yaliyofanyika muongo baada ya muongo ili kuleta maana ya wakati huu wa sasa.
