Iran is rarely out of the news at the moment: from the death of President Raisi (which we covered in our last Conflicted Community episode), to the rumours of Supreme Leader Khamenei's illness, and with unrest inside the country ever present, it feels like a country at the precipice. So this week, we again look to Persia to make sense of what Iran's global strategy actually is. And this week, in a Conflicted Community first, we welcome a guest onto the show to help Thomas and Aimen on their way. Karim Sadjadpour is an Iranian-American who has focused on Iranian foreign policy and the region's geopolitics throughout his career. After spending time in Iran (and evading arrest), he is now a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and a contributing writer at the Atlantic and the New York Times, as well as an adjunct professor at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. In our first of two episodes with Karim, we discuss Iran's global strategy towards foreign policy, how it intersects with the new multipolar world, and what they actually get from their axis with Russia and China. This first part is going out to all Conflicted listeners, but part two (coming out tomorrow on June 13th) is exclusively for Conflicted Community subscribers. To listen to part two, you'll need to subscribe to the Conflicted Community, where you will get bonus episodes like this one, alongside many other benefits, including our Conflicted Community chatroom, where you can interact with fellow dearest listeners, discuss episodes past and future, get exclusive messages from Thomas and Aimen, ask future Q&A questions and so much more.

The recent attacks by Iran and Israel on one another's territory have taken the strategic rivalry between these two adversaries into uncharted and dangerous territory. The unprecedented strikes seem to have been contained for now, but it's by no means certain that this state will hold. The underlying issues that have fueled tensions — from conflict with regional proxies to Iran's nuclear program — remain unresolved.  Will the recent escalation between Iran and Israel lead the parties to greater risk-readiness or risk aversion? What role can outside parties, especially the United States, play in reducing tensions? Join Aaron David Miller as he sits down with the Institute for National Security Studies' Sima Shine and the Carnegie Endowment's Karim Sadjadpour to discuss these and other issues, in the next episode of Carnegie Connects.

With all eyes on Israel's escalating war with Hamas, what's Iran's next move?   Iran gets around. In Southern Lebanon, Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters have a missile arsenal that dwarfs Hamas' rocket supply and could overwhelm Israel's famed “Iron Dome” air defense. The Pentagon recently redirected the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier and its strike group of destroyers to the Middle East instead of the eastern Mediterranean, ready to intercept missile and drone strikes by Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen aimed at Israel. Days later, American F-16 jets carried out airstrikes in Eastern Syria on facilities used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard and its proxies, in retaliation for a barrage of recent rocket and drone attacks against American forces in Iraq and Syria.   But there's a big difference between skirmishes with Iran proxy forces and an all-out US-Israel-Iran war.

Will Iran's Regime Survive?

Protests have rocked Iran for nine weeks, despite a violent crackdown by the country's security services. The demonstrations erupted in mid-September after Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman, was detained by the morality police in Tehran for allegedly not wearing her hijab properly. She was reportedly beaten, fell into a coma, and died days later. The public responded to her death with grief and outrage, and over the last several weeks the protests have evolved into a much broader movement against the country's leaders. As Iran's regime grapples with these internal threats to its power, it is sending weapons to Russia to use in Ukraine and continuing to wield its influence around the Middle East. Earlier this year, Karim Sadjadpour, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, argued in Foreign Affairs that Iran's foreign exploits were coming at great cost at home. “Ultimately,” he wrote, “the Islamic Republic's grand strategy will be defeated not by the United States or Israel but by the people of Iran, who have paid the highest price for it.” We discuss whether Iran's regime will survive this wave of protests, whether reform is possible, and the nature of Iran's relationship with Russia and China.

Conflict and instability in the Middle East show no signs of abating. Recent jousting between Israeli and Palestinian forces, the ongoing war in Yemen, and continued Saudi Arabia-Iran friction threaten to further destabilize the region. Though President Biden is attempting to restore coherence in the U.S. approach to the Middle East, his administration remains focused on responding to the pandemic domestically and on countering China in the international arena. Beijing, for its part, appears intent on playing a larger role in Middle Eastern affairs. It continues to foster stronger ties with regional countries through its Belt and Road Initiative and bilateral cooperation agreements, such as the twenty-five-year investment deal with Iran. How will China’s growing influence in the region affect the interests of the United States and other actors? During a live recording of the China in the World podcast, Paul Haenle spoke with Karim Sadjadpour, a senior fellow in the Carnegie Endowment’s Middle East Program, and He Wenping, a professor at the Institute of West Asian and African Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

In 2009 ging het niet om enkele duizenden demonstranten, maar om miljoenen, en de opstand van de zogenoemde Groene Beweging duurde maanden. Toen maakten wij de fout te denken dat de oppositie onze steun zocht en ons gedachtegoed deelde. Maar hun protest was niet pro-Amerika, of pro-Europa, het was anti-ayatollah. Sterker nog: de oppositieleider destijds, Hoessein Mousavi, was de eerste negen jaar na de Iraanse revolutie premier, en bleef altijd fel antiwesters. Het regime maakte dankbaar misbruik van onze luidruchtige sympathie voor de Groene Beweging, door erop los te gaan met de beschuldiging dat natuurlijk de Amerikaans-Israëlisch-Britse driehoek achter de opstand zat. Wij maakten een historische fout door het regime de hakbijl aan te reiken. En zo zit een stel hoogbejaarde, corrupte geestelijken, met middeleeuwse opvattingen, nog steeds aan de knoppen. In een situatie die een beetje op die van 2009 lijkt, moet je dus je lesje hebben geleerd. Niet, dus. Trump, die twittert dat dictaturen niet eeuwig blijven en er in kapitalen aan toevoegt: TIJD VOOR VERANDERING, legt de bal comfortabel voor de voeten van de van de ayatollahs. Bibi Netanyahu, die de demonstranten moedig en dapper noemt, brengt hen juist een dolkstoot toe. Zie je wel, zeggen de ayatollahs, allemaal het werk van de CIA, MI6 en Mossad. Wat dan wel? Iran deskundige Karim Sadjadpour zegt tegen CNN: In 1979 verwachtten de Iraniërs een revolutie zonder democratie, nu willen ze democratie zonder revolutie. Als buitenlands leider moet je heel voorzichtig zijn en misschien even geen commentaar geven. En als je al vindt dat je iets moet zeggen, wijs de Iraanse president dan op zijn eigen uitspraak: het volk heeft vrijheid van demonstratie en meningsuiting. Zo luidde de reactie van de EU, met, bevestigt een woordvoerder aan BNR, de steun van Nederland. Natuurlijk hebben de demonstranten gelijk. We kunnen voor ze duimen. Maar onze bondgenoten zijn ze niet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
