“…83 U.S. historian Nikki Keddie recalls that the Iranian scholars who helped her conduct research-such as Abdol Hossein Zarrinkoub, Iraj Afshar, and especially Hassan Taqizadeh-were not "particularly oriented toward the Pahlavi period." 84 Popular historians like Abdol Hossein Zarrinkoub focused on pre-modern times; modern professional historians like Fereydun Adamiyat and -Abbas Iqbal examined the decades preceding the Pahlavis. 85 Thus, some historians sidestepped methodological statism but did not refute the metanarrative itself.…”

“…But, according to Keddie, Khomeini has not delivered any public proclamations indicating his opposition to the land reform of the early 60s. 22 As such, Loeffler's conclusion seems to be only valid in the South-west region, where the dominant mode of economic activity is pastoral-nomadic, rather than agricultural. Moreover, Abrahamian has suggested that Khomeini's failure to clearly condemn or justify land reform, was due to his fear of alienating either the landed merchants who had lent their financial support to the revolution, or the disinherited rural population for whom the revolution meant land.…”
