The document outlines several events in the Middle East: 1) The Iranian Revolution from 1977-1979 which overthrew the Pahlavi dynasty and established an Islamic republic led by Ayatollah Khomeini. 2) The first Palestinian intifada from 1987-1991 where Palestinians rose up against Israeli occupation to regain lands captured in 1967, resulting in over 1,000 Palestinian and 100 Israeli civilian deaths. 3) The Iran-Iraq war from 1980-1988 where Iraq attacked Iran and used trench warfare tactics similar to WWI due to concerns over a Shiite uprising in Iraq. It then describes the life experiences and perspective of a 44-year-old Jewish-Iranian architecture
