World Policy Journal sits down with Jeremy Suyker, a Paris-based photographer who spent months in Iran documenting the country’s rich culture and history. Suyker’s photo essay, “Iran’s House of Strength,” for the Journal’s latest issue conveys vivid images of zurkanehs, traditional training rooms in which men practice the ancient sport of varzesh-e pahlevani.
