Diane Rehm had Con Coughlin as the spacial guest to her daily show on NPR. Coughlin wrote a new book about the life and legacy of ayatollah Khomeini. The book is titled: "Khomeini's Ghost".
He is an executive editor of Daily Telegraph in London.
"Khomeini's Ghost is the account of how an impoverished young student from a remote area of southern Iran became the leader of one of the most dramatic upheavals of the modern age, and how his radical Islamic philosophy now is at the heart of the current conflict between Iran and the West. Con Coughlin draws on a wide variety of Iranian sources, including religious figures who knew and worked with Khomeini both in exile and in power."
He calls us confrontational, people who think very high of themselves! and are absolutely trying to be superpower in the region and are not willing to give that up at all.
P.S: For a person who claims to be an expert in Iranian politics and has written a book on the subject, it is kind of funny that he calls our president: "Ahmadi JEHAD " :))))
