MintPress News founder Mnar Adley, this essential interview with University of Tehran professor Dr. Setareh Sadeghi reveals the devastating reality of US-Israeli aggression against Iran that corporate media refuses to report. With over 307 medical facilities destroyed in one month, schools bombed, and universities targeted, Iran faces what officials describe as a genocidal campaign.Dr. Sadeghi exposes:• How BBC journalists calling for Iran to be "nuked" are tied to CIA-backed regime change networks• Why Iranian women are leading mass rallies in defense of their nation—not against it• The collapse of Western propaganda as independent Iranian creators go viral worldwide• How Iran's regulation of the Strait of Hormuz is accelerating the petrodollar's decline• UAE's covert complicity in war crimes while positioning itself as a neutral party• Why Russia and China are aligning with Iran against unipolar imperial dominationAs Trump threatens to "wipe out Iranian civilization," 93 million Iranians are uniting against what they identify as a war on their sovereignty, culture, and right to self-determination. Dr. Sadeghi explains how attacks on hospitals, UNESCO heritage sites, and civilian infrastructure have strengthened national unity across political divides.This is the Iranian perspective watchdog journalism demands, and corporate media silences.Support the showMintPress News is a fiercely independent.

In this week's episode, Jennifer, in honor of Women's History Month, delivers a powerful and thought-provoking episode tracing key milestone in American women’s fight for equality, from property rights and suffrage to workforce participation and educational achievement. She draws sharp contrasts with the situation for women in Iran, highlighting severe legal and cultural restrictions faced there, including mandatory hijab laws, denial of autonomy, and lack of protection against violence. The episode addresses controversial debates on American intervention, the tendency to take freedoms for granted, and urges listeners to educate themselves and others during Women's History Month. Jennifer’s candid remarks, including her pointed criticism of partisan responses to international women’s issues, are certain to provoke reflection and conversation. "Over 30,000 people were killed this winter in Iran because they protested what the Ayatollah was doing. They protested for their freedom, the freedom that we take for granted every single day.” ~Jennifer Nassour This week on Political Contessa: Evolution of women's property and voting rights from 1839 through the 1900s Impact of the Married Women’s Property Acts and the Homestead Act Rise in educational attainment and workforce participation for American women Historic milestones like the first equal gender law school class at St. John’s Contrast between U.S. women’s freedoms and Iranian women’s legal restrictions Current realities of hijab laws, travel limits, and lack of legal protections in Iran Recent Iranian women’s protests and the consequences faced The importance of defending, not taking for granted, American women’s rights Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

Rhett Burnie, Australian journalist

Five members of Iran's women's national football team have been granted humanitarian visas in Australia after refusing to sing the Iranian national anthem during a match with South Korea at the AFC Women's Asian Cup. The decision allows them to remain in Australia amid concerns that they could face punishment if they returned to Iran. Samah Qundeel explains.

Dr. Babak Fozooni, tutor at The Open University, joins Eoin to reflect on the power of football as both a distraction and a form of protest for the Iranian people throughout decades of authoritarian rule. With members of the Iranian Women's team currently applying for asylum in Australia, Dr. Fozooni explains how the sport is deeply entrenched in Iranian feminism, as well as looking to a Men's World Cup where it seems increasingly less likely that Iranian players will take to the pitch come June.

After days of speculation, five players from the Iranian women's football team were formally granted protection in Australia by home affairs minister Tony Burke early on Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, the rest of the team remains under surveillance by minders as they travel to the airport and potentially back to Iran. Women's football journalist Samantha Lewis speaks to Nour Haydar about what went on behind the scenes to keep the women in Australia, whether more players could do so too and what happens next

Seven Iranian football players have now been granted asylum in Australia. Five players from the women's team, including captain Zahra Ghanbari, slipped away from the team hotel under the cover of darkness to claim sanctuary from Australian officials, the Australian Government announced. At least two more members of the team applied to stay later in the day, according to reports. Australia Correspondent Steve Price told Mike Hosking that those who wanted to return left the country last night, catching a flight to Sydney, then to Kuala Lumpur. Where they go from now, he says, is uncertain, as commercial flights obviously can't enter Iranian airspace at the moment. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Iranian women's football team lost 3-0 on Monday night in the Women's Asian Cup, but for many Iranians the fact they made it onto the park was a win in itself. The conflict in the Middle East has caused all kinds of chaos across the globe, and these women are tasked with not only trying to win games of football, but with representing a nation currently in turmoil on the international stage. Ahead of their match-up against the Matildas, many at the Asian Cup are wrapping their arms around this group. Featured: Emma Kemp, senior sports writer, Nine Newspapers. Subscribe to the ABC Sport Newsletter

I passionately argue against the misconceptions surrounding the Iranian revolution and the notion of Islamophobia. I emphasize that supporting the Iranian revolutionaries is not an act of bigotry but a moral imperative, as the Iranian people are fighting for their freedom against an oppressive Islamic regime. -

Iranian law controls how women dress, what they drive and what they do in public. But now, more women across Iran are rebelling — risking severe fines or up to 10 years in prison.

Iran's Women-Led Uprising: Origins, Brutality, and Defiance. Nilo Tabrizy discusses how the Iranian women-led uprising, detailed in For the Sun After Long Nights, was triggered by the 2022 murder of Mahsa Amini by the morality police. The slogan "Woman, Life, Freedom" (Zan, Zendegi, Azadi) is the rallying cry. The regime's brutality is severe, suppressing protests through executions. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) acts as an octopus, maintaining control across society. Defiance continues today, demonstrated by women actively ignoring state-mandated dress codes. 1870
