Podcasts about iranian politics

As the daughter of Iranian immigrants, Lisa Daftari's unique perspective bridges two worlds, offering a rare insight into the often misunderstood narratives of Iran. Our conversation peels back the curtain on Iran's intricate political tapestry, revealing the vibrant, progressive spirit of its people that defies the extremist image cast by its rulers on.Our deep dive conversation, goes through Lisa's transition from a non-political childhood to becoming an acclaimed voice on matters that shape our world. We navigate the transformative aftermath of the Iranian Revolution, the pivotal events of 9/11, and the inception of The Foreign Desk - Lisa's answer to the mainstream media's overlooked stories.Feel the pulse of Iran's internal struggle as we dissect the powerful fight for women's rights ignited by Mahsa Amini's death. The unity among Iranians today contrasts starkly with past movements, challenging us to understand the complexity of their quest for change. We probe the global community's response, seeking reasons behind its silence, and underscore the significance of accurate Western narratives that echo the Iranian plea for freedom. As the dialogue shifts to the Biden administration's strategies, we critically analyze their impact on Iran's regional conduct and the overarching implications for global stability.

Iran has entered its 12th day of protests following the death of #MahsaAmini in morality police custody. On Deep Dish, women in the Iranian diaspora share firsthand the severity of what is transpiring, and Narges Bajoghli of Johns Hopkins University unpacks why these demonstrations are different and strike at the core of Iran's regime.

In this episode, I speak with Narges Bajoghli, an award-winning anthropologist, filmmaker, writer and an Assistant Professor of Middle East Studies at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. We mostly talk about the topics in her upcoming book titled 'Iran Reframed,' which is about the state-controlled media in the Islamic Republic of Iran. We discuss what it means to be pro-regime in Iran and the debates around the future of the Islamic Republic taking place in that country. We also discuss the prospects of war between Iran and the US and many other topics.

In this episode, I speak with Bahman Kalbasi, the New York and United Nations Correspondent for BBC Persian. He and I talk about the recent US sanctions against Iran and the reports of related shortages in food and medicine coming out of that country, how the tension between the US and Iran may unfold, the various Iranian opposition movements in exile and whether they have mobilizing potential, the Jamal Khashoggi murder and its implications on the geopolitics of the Middle East, the US midterm elections and how the Democrats' newfound power affects US foreign and domestic policies, the various Persian-language channels based in the UK and their sources of funding, the recent high-profile departures at BBC Persian, his interviews with high-profile American politicians and other topics.

Bruce Bueno de Mesquita of Stanford University's Hoover Institution and New York University talks to EconTalk host Russ Roberts about threats to U.S. security, particularly Iran.
