Michel Foucault, l’Iran et le pouvoir du spirituel – previously unpublished 1979 interview in Bibliobs (requires subscription). A shorter version is published in the print version of L’Obs, 8 February 2018. I have the print version, but if anyone can access the online version please let me know.
Many thanks to Sebastian Budgen for the link.

Thanks Janet. What was frustrating was that I signed up, paid, and still couldn’t access it. I have it now.
Put this article in the English version for the benefit of nonFrench readers and followers of MF.
Who is this comment directed towards? I’d be surprised if it wasn’t translated at some point.
