Podcast appearances and mentions of mahsa amini

This week we talk about war, inflation, and currency devaluation.We also discuss tyrants, police violence, and social media threats.Recommended Book: Post-Growth Living by Kate SoperTranscriptBack in mid-June of 2025, a shooting war erupted between Iran and Israel, with Israeli military forces launching attacks against multiple Iranian military sites, alongside sites associated with its nuclear program and against individual Iranian military leaders.Iran responded to these strikes, which left a lot of infrastructural damage and several military leaders assassinated, with large waves of missiles and drones against both Israeli and allied military targets, and soon after, later the same month, both sides agreed on a ceasefire and that was that.Following that blip of a war, though, Iran's economy suffered greatly. It already wasn't doing well, in part due to the crippling sanctions enforced by the US government for years, but also because of persistent mismanagement by Iran's ruling regime, and the resultant deterioration of local infrastructure, both physical and bureaucratic.Millions of people fled Iranian urban centers during the war with Israel, and while most of them returned when the ceasefire was brokered, the pace of life and other fundaments of these cities never got back up to where they were, before, as there have been fairly consistent blackouts that have kept people from being able to function as normal, and these outages have also kept businesses from getting back on their feet. That, in turn, has resulted in closures and firings and an overall reduction in economic activity.The general hamhandedness of the government has amplified these issues, and the countless other issues of trying to exist within a country that is being so persistently targeted—both in the sense of those crushing sanctions from the US, but also in the sense of being periodically struck by Israel—has dramatically increased uncertainty throughout Iran these past several years.Even before that brief war, Iran was already on the backfoot, having suffered the loss of their local proxies, including the Assad regime in Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas in the Gaza Strip—all of which have been either severely weakened by Israel in recent years, or functionally wiped out—and that in turn has more directly exposed them to meddling and attacks from their key opposition, which includes the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.That new vulnerability has put the Iranian government on high-alert, and the compounding effects of all that infrastructural damage, mismanagement, and the need to reallocate more resources to defense has left the country suffering very high levels of inflation, a severely devalued currency, regular blackouts, mass unemployment, a water shortage, and long-time repression from a government that is in many ways more paranoid and flailing than in any time in recent memory.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent wave of protests across Iran and why the US government is apparently considering taking action to support protestors against the Iranian government.—Iran has long suffered all sorts of issues, including regular efforts by ethnic secessionists to pull it apart into pieces they periodically occupy and want to govern, themselves, and concerns from citizens that the government spends a whole lot of their time and the nation's resources enriching themselves, oppressing the citizenry, funding what seems to be a pointless nuclear program, and prioritizing their offensive efforts against Israel and their other regional enemies, often by arming and funding those aforementioned, now somewhat defunct proxy militias and militaries.On top of all that, as of October 2025, inflation in Iran had surged to 48.6% and the Iranian currency, the rial, dropped in value to 1.45 million per dollar. The government tried to artificially boost the value of the rial to 1.38 million per dollar in early January of 2026, but it dropped further, to 1.5 million per dollar a few days later, hitting a record low. This combined with that wild inflation rate, made the basic fundamentals of life, food, electricity, and so on, unaffordable, even for those who still had jobs, which was an ever-shrinking portion of the population.For context, the drop of the rial to a value of 1.38 million per dollar, the boosted value, represented a loss of about 40% of the rial's value since June of 2025, just before that war with Israel, which is a staggering loss, as that means folk's life savings lost that much in about half a year.When currency values and inflation hit that level of volatility, doing business becomes difficult. It often makes more sense to close up shop than to try to keep the doors open, because you don't know if the price you charge for your product or service will make you a profit or not: there's a chance you'll sell things at a loss, because the value of the money you receive and the cost of goods you require, both to survive and to keep your business functioning, will change before the day ends, or before the sale can be completed.Iran's economic crisis has further exploded in the past few weeks, then, because all those issues have compounded and spiraled to the point that simply selling things and buying things have become too risky for many people and entities, and that means folks are having even more trouble getting food and keeping the lights on than before; which becomes a real survival issue, on top of the regular crackdowns and abuses by the government that they've suffered in various ways for decades.In 2022, those abuses and limits on personal rights led to large protests that were catalyzed by the death of a 22-year-old woman named Mahsa Amini, who was in police custody for allegedly wearing her hijab improperly. Those 2022 protests were historically large—the biggest in the country, by some estimates at least, since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.On December 28 2025, a group of shopkeepers in Iran's capital city, Tehran, went on strike, closing their shops in protest against what's been happening with Iran's economy; again, it's basically impossible to safely do business in a country with that much inflation and currency devaluation happening.Other shopkeepers followed suit, and large protests formed around these closed shops. Those protests flooded social media platforms in short order, protestors shouting slogans that indicated they were pissed off about all the economic mismanagement in the country, and then eventually that led to anti-government slogans being shouted, as well.Things remained peaceful at these protests, at first, and they expanded across the country within the next few days, shops closing and people filling the streets.By the fourth day, police had started to use live ammunition and tear gas against protestors, some of the protestors were killed, and things spiraled from there.By December 31, the government ordered a total, nationwide business shutdown, to try to get ahead of these protests, which again tended to revolve around the shutdown of businesses in protest—the government said they were making this call because of cold weather, but the writing was kind of on the wall at this point that they were scrambling to make it look like businesses were shutting down because they said so, not in protest of the government.The government also announced that they would start cracking down on protestors, hard, and on the first day of 2026, things escalated further, police using even more force against those who gathered, which of course led to more protests in more places, more angry slogans being shouted, and more protestor deaths at the hands of government forces.Protests had spread to all 31 Iranian provinces by early January of 2026, and at this point there were only 17 confirmed deaths.US President Donald Trump got involved around this time, maybe feeling confident following the successful nighttime grab of Venezuelan President Maduro; whatever the case, he warned the Iranian government not to shoot protestors, or the US government might have to get involved, coming to the protestors' rescue.Iran's government responded by saying the rioters must be put in their place, suppressing the funerals of protestors, and muffling local internet service, slowing down access speeds and increasing the number of outages by about a third. They threatened to execute hundreds of protestors by hanging, then said they wouldn't. Trump declared this to be a personal victory, though the Iranian government has used his insinuation of himself into the matter to position the fight as Iran against the US, the protestors backed by their great enemy, which has shown itself to be responsible for these protests.The government then started forcing captured protestors to make confessions on video, which only seemed to further anger the non-arrested protestors, and some protestors began to fight back, in one case setting a police officer on fire, and in other cases local militia groups defended protestors against police, leading to several deaths.Iran's government shut down more communication services in an attempt to regain control, in some cities taking down the internet completely, though some information, photos and videos of police abuses of protestors still made it out into the wider world using satellite services like Starlink, and by the 9th of January, protests reached a scale that rivaled and maybe surpassed those seen during the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and protestors began to set fire to buildings associated with the Islamic Republic, the government, and directly clashing with security forces in some cases.Hundreds of people were reportedly killed per day from that point forward, and thousands were rushed to hospitals, overwhelming local doctors.Thousands of people were also violently killed by police, under cover of the now complete internet blackout, and on January 10th, it was estimated that around 2,000 protestors had been killed in the past two days, alone, while other estimates from inside and outside Iran range from 12,000 to 20,000 protestors killed by the government. The most reliable source I could find, as of last weekend, indicated that the true number of dead is something like 3,300 people, at minimum.In the past week or so, the Iranian government has apparently figured out how to jam Starlink internet signals, making it even more difficult for protestors to share what's happening in the country, and President Trump posted on his social network, Truth Social, telling Iranian citizens that they should overthrow the government and that help is on the way.The Iranian government has arrested tens of thousands of people, has tanks patrolling their towns and cities, and seems to have successfully quashed protests for the time being; no protests at all were reported across the country as of mid-January, and so many people were killed and injured that hospitals and other institutions are still overwhelmed, trying to work through their backlog; much of the country is in mourning.Government forces are reportedly going door to door to arrest people who were spotted in CCTV and social media footage participating in protests, and they've set up checkpoints to stop people, look through their phones, and arrest them if any photos or videos are found that indicate they were at protests, deleting that digital evidence in the process.This remains a fast-moving story and there's a chance something significant, like the US striking Iranian government targets, or renewed, more focused protests will arise in the coming days and weeks.Some analysts have argued that it's kind of a no-brainer for the Trump administration to hit the Iranian government while it's strained in this way, because it's a long-time enemy of the US and its allies that's currently weak, and doing so would reinforce the narrative, sparked with the capture of Maduro, that Trump's administration is anti-tyrant; which is questionable by most measures, but again, this is a narrative, not necessarily reality. And narratives are powerful, especially going into an election year.It's also possible that, because economic conditions in Iran haven't changed, that this is just the beginning of something bigger; protestors and militias taking a moment to regain their footing and consider what they might do to have more of an impact when they start back up again.Show Noteshttps://www.iranintl.com/en/202601130145https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/31/we-want-the-mullahs-gone-economic-crisis-sparks-biggest-protests-in-iran-since-2022https://www.nytimes.com/article/iran-protests-inflation-currency.htmlhttps://www.fdd.org/analysis/2025/06/25/mapping-the-protests-in-iran-2/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/10/us/politics/trump-iran-strikes.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/10/world/middleeast/iran-protests-death-toll.htmlhttps://www.reuters.com/world/china/iranian-mp-warns-greater-unrest-urging-government-address-grievances-2026-01-13/https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/iran-is-hunting-down-starlink-users-to-stop-protest-videos-from-going-global-d8b49602https://archive.is/20260114175227/https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/bank-collapse-iran-protests-83f6b681https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-protest-death-toll-over-12000-feared-higher-video-bodies-at-morgue/https://sundayguardianlive.com/world/did-irans-currency-collapse-rial-plummets-to-000-against-euro-while-inflation-protests-escalate-across-the-country-164403/https://archive.is/20260116034429/https://www.ft.com/content/5d848323-84a9-4512-abd2-dd09e0a786a3https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2jek15m8nohttps://theconversation.com/the-use-of-military-force-in-iran-could-backfire-for-washington-273264https://archive.is/20260114182636/https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/01/14/iran-regime-protest-trump-strike/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/world/middleeast/iran-protests-deadly-crackdown.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/17/world/middleeast/iran-ayatollah-khamenei.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025%E2%80%932026_Iranian_protestshttps://www.en-hrana.org/day-thirteen-of-the-protests-nighttime-demonstrations-continue-amid-internet-shutdown/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Iran_internal_crisishttps://apnews.com/article/iran-protests-trump-khamenei-fc11b1082fb75fca02205f668c822751 This is a public episode.

Back in 2022, protests in Iran were bolder than at any time since the 1979 revolution — and that time, it was teenage girls leading the way. Gen Z used their TikTok and Instagram skills to draw the world’s attention to their demand for freedom. But with almost 300 hashtags under #MahsaAmini, their movement was also being co‑opted for others’ purposes. How could anyone tell which was which? This is a story from the archives. It originally aired on October 19, 2022. None of the dates, titles or other references from that time has been changed.

In late December, merchants and shopkeepers in Iran took to the streets to protest against the dire economic situation in the country. Since then, thousands more Iranians have joined the protests, snowballing it into a much bigger movement which is now calling for the end of the Islamic regime. The authorities have responded to the demonstrations with gunfire, tear gas and thousands of arrests. According to human rights agencies, more than 2000 people have been killed so far in the uprising, with some reports suggesting the death toll could be as high as 12,000. These protests follow on from the 2022 Women, Life, Freedom Movement which saw thousands demonstrate following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in the custody of the morality police. To understand what is happening on the ground in Iran, and what this latest unrest means for its people and women in particular, Róisín Ingle is joined by two Iranian academics, Mayha Ostovar and Yasaman Ranjbaran. Ostovar is a lecturer at NUI Galway, while Ranjbaran is completing a PHD in ecology and evolution in Padua, Italy. Together, they speak about their hope for a free and peaceful Iran. Hosted on Acast.

El régimen iraní vive en estos momentos la que quizá sea su crisis de legitimidad más grave desde la revolución de 1979. Supera incluso en magnitud y politización a las protestas de 2022 tras el asesinato a manos de la policía de Mahsa Amini. Lo que comenzó a finales de diciembre como una queja de los comerciantes de los bazares de Teherán por la inflación que supera el 50% y el colapso del rial, se ha transformado en un desafío directo a la existencia misma de la República Islámica. A diferencia de movimientos anteriores, el descontento actual ha resucitado con fuerza el sentimiento monárquico. Son muchos manifestantes que exhiben banderas monárquicas y piden abiertamente el regreso de la dinastía Pahlaví, personificada en el príncipe Reza, hijo del último sha, que vive en el exilio desde hace décadas. Las protestas se han extendido ya a más de un centenar de ciudades repartidas por todo el país. Esto ha provocado una respuesta del Gobierno extremadamente violenta. Desde el 8 de enero el régimen ha decretado un apagón total de internet para frenar la coordinación interna de los manifestantes y la difusión en el extranjero de las pruebas de la represión. Organizaciones internacionales informan que la cifra de muertos podría superar las mil personas. Hay denuncias de cadáveres apilados en las morgues de los hospitales que ya no dan abasto. La policía, la guardia revolucionaria e incluso el ejército están disparando a los manifestantes con fuego real, razón por la cual muchos de los cadáveres presentan disparos en la cabeza y en el pecho. El líder supremo, Alí Jamenei, ha calificado el levantamiento como un complot extranjero, y la Justicia ha advertido a todos los que protestan que no les temblará la mano. Están dispuestos a aplicar la pena de muerte y sentencias de cárcel ejemplares a todo el que sea detenido en la calle. Esta pérdida de legitimidad del régimen tiene un origen reciente. La guerra de junio del año pasado contra Israel y Estados Unidos rompió el mito de invencibilidad de los ayatolás. Después de años invirtiendo recursos en el ejército mientras la población se empobrecía, el régimen demostró aquellos días ser incapaz de defender su propio espacio aéreo y sus instalaciones nucleares. Esta humillación militar ha servido de catalizador para que la sociedad civil pierda el miedo, un patrón recurrente en dictaduras cuyo aura de invulnerabilidad se desvanece tras una derrota militar. En el plano internacional la tensión es máxima. Donald Trump ha amenazado con una intervención directa si la masacre continúa. El Gobierno iraní, por su parte, ya ha adelantado que en el caso de que eso suceda atacarán bases estadounidenses en Oriente Medio y rutas petroleras en el Golfo Pérsico. Los vecinos árabes no están del todo contentos, más bien al contrario. Prefieren a un Irán debilitado porque temen que un colapso total del régimen provoque una guerra civil que termine exportando inestabilidad y problemas a toda la región. El futuro de Irán es hoy incierto: el país se debate entre un cambio de régimen largamente esperado o un baño de sangre ejecutado por una cúpula político-religiosa que parece decidida a resistir a cualquier precio.

BROKEN PROMISES AND LINGUISTIC DISCRIMINATION Colleague Brenda Shaffer. Shaffer details how the Islamic Republic initially promised ethnic minorities linguistic and cultural rights to secure power in 1979, only to violently suppress them once established. She explains that this oppression continues today through the policing of non-Persian names on birth certificates and the banning of minority language education. Shaffer argues this linguistic discrimination fuels current unrest, exemplified by Mahsa Amini, whose Kurdish identity was suppressed by state mandates. NUMBER 21911 QAJAR IN URMIA

Các cuộc biểu tình gây chết người ở Iran, đã lan rộng sang nhiều tỉnh thành hơn, tạo ra một thách thức mới cho giới lãnh đạo đất nước. Đây là làn sóng biểu tình lớn nhất, kể từ các cuộc biểu tình toàn quốc năm 2022, bùng phát sau cái chết trong trại giam của Mahsa Amini.

Deadly protests in Iran have spread to more provinces presenting a new challenge for the country's leadership. It is the biggest wave of protests since the nationwide demonstrations in 2022, sparked by the death in custody of Mahsa Amini.

Entre finales del mes pasado y principios de este Irán está experimentando una nueva ola de protestas generalizadas, las más amplias y extendidas desde el levantamiento popular de 2022 tras la muerte de Mahsa Amini. Estas manifestaciones comenzaron en el Gran Bazar de Teherán en diciembre. Los comerciantes empezaron a cerrar sus puestos y salieron a la calle a protestar por el colapso económico que vive el país. El rial está en mínimos históricos, la inflación en máximos y no hay expectativas de que la cosa mejore. Tras el chispazo en el bazar las manifestaciones se extendieron rápidamente a universidades y ciudades como Isfahán, Mashhad, Hamedán y otras zonas del país. La cuestión es saber si este movimiento podría convertirse en algo mucho mayor que termine provocando cambios políticos de calado en la República Islámica. Si comparamos esta crisis con la que se produjo tras la muerte de Mahsa Amini se observa una clara evolución en la dinámica de la oposición al régimen. Las protestas de 2022 fueron una revuelta moral y generacional liderada por jóvenes reunidos bajo el lema "Mujer, Vida, Libertad”. El estallido actual tiene una base social mucho más amplia. La crisis económica actúa como un nivelador que ha unido a jóvenes, comerciantes y familias de zonas rurales y urbanas. Además, se percibe un cambio cualitativo en las demandas: mientras que en 2022 se exigía autonomía personal y reformas liberales, hoy resuenan con fuerza cánticos monárquicos que piden el regreso de la dinastía Pahlaví. Esto indica que el centro de gravedad se ha desplazado definitivamente de la reforma social hacia el cambio de régimen. El entorno internacional también ha dado un giro importante que debilita la posición del Gobierno de Masoud Pezheskian. A diferencia de la contención diplomática que caracterizó al Gobierno de Joe Biden en 2022, el regreso de Donald Trump al poder acompañado de su táctica de "máxima presión" ha empeorado el aislamiento iraní. Con un programa nuclear seguramente destruido tras el ataque del año pasado y la pérdida de aliados en Oriente Medio como Bashar al-Asad en Siria o las milicias en el Líbano y Gaza, el régimen se encuentra más vulnerable que nunca. A pesar de esto, el Líder Supremo, Alí Jamenei, persiste en su retórica habitual. Alterna una empatía superficial con la acusación de que las protestas son fruto de una guerra psicológica concebida en Occidente para debilitar a Irán. En todo lo demás la respuesta de Pezheskian no está siendo muy distinta a la que dio Ebrahim Raisi hace tres años. El patrón de la represión sistemática se mantiene. Se están realizando detenciones masivas y la policía no escatima violencia para sofocar el descontento. Los cambios cosméticos en el gabinete económico y las ofertas de diálogo los percibe la ciudadanía como maniobras intrascendentes que solo buscan ganar tiempo. La historia, también la historia de Irán, enseña que las revueltas del pan solo consiguen cambiar algo cuando se transforman en movimientos políticos transversales, que es lo que está sucediendo. Hoy el Gobierno ha perdido por completo la autoridad moral que una vez tuvo (esta despareció en 2022). Eso sumado a una economía que va de mal en peor invitan a pensar que las condiciones para un cambio se están alineando. La ruptura entre el Estado y la sociedad parece total, y la pregunta que domina el panorama iraní ya no es si el sistema entrará en crisis, sino cuánto tiempo podrá sostenerse bajo el peso de su propia represión e ineficiencia.

« Les bijoutiers du bazar de Téhéran et les agents de change ont été parmi les premiers à gronder, relate Le Monde à Paris, baissant le rideau de leurs boutiques pour protester, dès dimanche dernier, dans les rues de la capitale iranienne. La flambée de l'or et l'effondrement soudain du rial, la monnaie nationale, venaient ruiner leur commerce, amplifiant le malaise économique d'un pays miné par des années d'incurie des autorités, de corruption endémique et de sanctions internationales. Comme si une étincelle venait de s'allumer, les manifestants ont été rejoints par les commerçants d'autres parties de la capitale, quittant les uns après les autres leurs étals pour défiler dans les rues. » Pour leur part, poursuit Le Monde, « comme si elles craignaient une contagion qui l'obligerait à une répression de plus grande ampleur, les autorités ont décrété que le 31 décembre serait férié comme le sont déjà les 1er, 2 et 3 janvier 2026. Ces quatre jours non travaillés étoufferont-ils le mouvement naissant ? Pour les experts de l'Iran, ces protestations, trois ans après le mouvement Femme, vie, liberté, ont quelque chose de singulier. Il ne s'agit plus de mater la grogne d'une partie de l'élite. “C'est le cœur battant de l'économie iranienne qui proteste“, observe Azadeh Kian, sociologue franco-iranienne, professeure émérite à l'université Paris Cité. » Rester en marge ? « Voilà que quelque chose se trame, s'exclame le Jerusalem Post. Serait-ce le moment où les masses iraniennes se libéreront enfin du joug de leurs dirigeants oppressifs ? Ou n'est-ce qu'une énième protestation qui finira par s'essouffler, sans laisser de traces ? Il est trop tôt pour le dire et l'Histoire nous met en garde contre tout triomphe prématuré. » En tout cas, poursuit le quotidien israélien, « une question cruciale se pose : comment l'Occident et Israël peuvent-ils soutenir les manifestants sans donner involontairement au régime des arguments, en les présentant comme des instruments étrangers ? L'Occident est confronté à un paradoxe : s'il apporte son soutien, le régime s'en servira pour délégitimer les manifestants ; mais s'il ne le fait pas, les manifestants se sentiront abandonnés. » Et dans le même temps, pointe encore le Jerusalem Post, « Israël est confronté à un dilemme crucial. Elle aspire à un autre régime en Iran, un régime qui cesse d'exporter violence et chaos dans toute la région. Mais si l'influence israélienne se fait sentir dans les manifestations, la propagande du régime n'en sera que plus facile. » Ou bien soutenir le mouvement ? Pour le Wall Street Journal, « rien n'indique encore que le régime iranien est menacé d'un effondrement immédiat. » Mais les manifestations de ces derniers jours « offrent aux États-Unis l'occasion de manifester leur soutien au peuple iranien. En 2009, Barack Obama avait commis l'erreur de garder le silence face à la répression des manifestants par le régime, car il souhaitait un accord nucléaire avec l'ayatollah. Donald Trump pourrait être tenté par la même illusion. » « Les Iraniens qui risquent leur vie méritent (donc) un soutien concret, insiste le Wall Street Journal. Cela peut impliquer le rétablissement de l'accès à Internet lorsque le régime le coupe, la dénonciation des responsables de la répression du régime, et bien plus encore. Donald Trump peut également mettre en œuvre la loi Mahsa Amini, adoptée en 2024, afin de garantir que les responsables de violations des droits de l'homme rendent des comptes. Enfin, le plus important est de maintenir la pression économique sur le régime iranien », pointe encore le quotidien financier américain. Avec l'application à 100% des sanctions pétrolières. En effet, « l'ayatollah Khamenei a absolument besoin des revenus du pétrole pour s'assurer de la loyauté de ses commandants militaires (…). Si ces revenus venaient à manquer, l'armée pourrait changer de camp. » De possibles négociations ? En tout cas, conclut Die Welt à Berlin, « le choix qui se présente à Téhéran est clair. L'Iran peut devenir un État souverain doté d'un avenir viable, intégré à l'économie mondiale. Ou bien, il peut rester un régime révolutionnaire en proie à une confrontation permanente avec la réalité. Ce qu'il ne peut se permettre, c'est de rester à la fois ambitieux et intouchable. » Car, poursuit le quotidien allemand, « Israël ne vivra pas indéfiniment sous une menace existentielle. Les dirigeants iraniens le savent. C'est précisément pour cette raison que des négociations restent possibles et qu'elles peuvent encore aboutir. L'histoire n'accorde pas de temps illimité aux régimes. Elle leur offre des moments décisifs. Celui-ci en est un. »

Protests have erupted across Iran following the regime's stark economic crisis in what has become the biggest outbreak of civil unrest since Mahsa Amini's death in police custody in 2022.We speak to Iranians living in the UK to hear about what it's like to live there, and we'll ask: should the West avoid getting involved in any prospective regime change?We go to Sydney to hear about how Australians are welcoming in the new year and ask whether our relationship with this celebration has changed. Plus we're joined by LBC's Simon Marks, Nick Abbot and Shelagh Fogarty to hear their predictions about what's to come in 2026.

On Episode 400 of Roqe, Jian reunites members of the original team - Groovy Shaya, Captain Reza and Smart Pegah - for a special roundtable reflecting on the five and a half years since the show launched in April 2020. The conversation explores how Roqe evolved from a pandemic-era experiment into a global program streamed over 45 million times; how Toronto has become the epicentre of a rapidly growing Iranian diaspora; and how events such as the Mahsa Amini uprising, mass executions in Iran, worsening economic and environmental crises and the Iran-Israel conflict have reshaped the tone and urgency of diaspora media. The team also discusses the rise of Iranian digital creators, shifting audience expectations and standout moments from 400 episodes of Roqe. Plus: Jian speaks about the upcoming Roqe Live 6. Meezoon basheen.

Episode 399 of Roqe features the return of Dr. Kayvan Mirhadi – “Dr. Kay” – the Chief of Internal Medicine at Clifton Springs Hospital in New York and one of the most trusted medical voices for Iranians around the world. He first gained widespread recognition during COVID-19 and again during the Mahsa Amini protests, when his clear guidance and steady presence became a lifeline for millions. In this special feature, Jian Ghomeshi puts 12 (although it ends up being more like 8!) of the most common and most sensitive audience questions to him – from Plan B to herpes panic, from anal sex myths to antibiotics, stress, fasting diets, Vitamin D, and more. A candid, informative, surprisingly funny conversation that cuts through fear, misinformation, stigma, and confusion. Also in this episode: A reveal of the first lineup for Roqe Live 6, happening February 19, 2026 at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 29224 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE ESCALATION OF RHETORIC IN THE UKRAINE WAR,.. FIRST HOUR 9-915 US-Russia Summit in Budapest Amid Ukraine Escalation Fears. Anatol Lieven discusses how US President Trump and Russian President Putin agreed to meet in Budapest to discuss ending the Ukraine conflict following a productive call. The meeting, hosted in Viktor Orbán's Hungary, aims to reduce extreme tensions and avoid direct clashes between Russia and NATO. Discussion points include potential territorial compromise in Donbas and concerns over deploying Tomahawk missiles, which Russia views as a major escalation. 915-930 US-Russia Summit in Budapest Amid Ukraine Escalation Fears.

Discussion points include potential territorial compromise in Donbas and concerns over deploying Tomahawk missiles, which Russia views as a major escalation. 930-945 China's Tech Espionage and the Difficulty of Reverse Engineering Advanced Chip Tools. Chris Riegel discusses how TSMC and ASML technology face constant threats from Chinese industrial espionage. ASML's chipmaking tools are highly complex, making reverse engineering nearly impossible. Europe is waking up to the risks; recently, the Dutch government seized China-owned chipmaker Nexperia. China is estimated to be two to three years behind US high-end chip technology and requires access to advanced ASML tools to catch up. 945-1000 Hostage Situation and Political Realities in Gaza Ceasefire. Cliff May explains how the Gaza ceasefire focuses on the return of hostages, with 19 (including two Americans) still unaccounted for. Hamas is suspected of withholding hostages to retain bargaining power and resist relinquishing political control in phase two of the peace plan. Rhetoric about regional forces disarming Hamas is dismissed. May notes that in the Middle East, there are only permanent battles, viewing the current truce as a hudna, allowing jihadists to regroup and rearm. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 US Escalates Pressure on Maduro Following Machado's Nobel Prize. Evan Ellis discusses how, following the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to opposition leader María Corina Machado, the US escalated pressure on Venezuela. President Trump authorized CIA operations, coupled with naval deployments and B-52 overflights, to pressure the Maduro regime. The goal is triggering a tipping point where Maduro's inner circle calculates that leaving is preferable to facing US action. Separately, Peru's President Boluarte was ousted due to corruption and the nation's struggle with extreme urban violence and illegal mining. 1015-1030 US Escalates Pressure on Maduro Following Machado's Nobel Prize.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 US Military Pressure Campaigns Maduro Amid Silence from Regional Allies. Mary Anastasia O'Grady explains how Venezuela's illegitimate leader, Maduro, faces escalating pressure from the US, including a Navy flotilla, B-52 flights, and authorized CIA operations. The goal is to compel Maduro and his generals, who profit from transnational crime, to flee. The silence from traditional allies like Russia and China suggests they lack political justification to defend Maduro's record. However, Mexico's president offered no comment regarding Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado, reflecting leftist sympathies. 1215-1230 Tariffs Harm Consumers, Reduce Hiring, and Cause Customs Backlogs. Veronique De Rugy explains how tariffs are costing American consumers and businesses over 80% of the expense, leading to higher prices and reduced corporate margins. The tariff policy is harming the job market, causing 40% of CEOs to pause hiring and investments. Customs authorities are overwhelmed by the volume of small packages now requiring assessment, causing significant backlogs and lost goods for consumers. Special interests are expanding the tariff application to derivative products, such as peanut butter packaged in metal containers. 1230-1245 Russia Debates Orbit and Costs for Post-ISS Space Station. Anatoly Zak explains how Roscosmos faces a debate over the orbit of its new space station: a low-inclination 51-degree orbit or a more expensive near-polar orbit. The polar orbit offers strategic Arctic observation but increases radiation risk and reduces payload capacity. Economic realities may push Roscosmos toward the cheaper 51-degree orbit, possibly using existing ISS infrastructure, to ensure an operational station for cosmonauts by 2031. 1245-100 AM Russia Debates Orbit and Costs for Post-ISS Space Station.

Vor drei Jahren starb Jina Mahsa Amini in Polizeigewahrsam in Teheran. Ihr Tod wurde zum Auslöser für landesweite Proteste gegen das iranische Regime. Doch was ist von dieser Bewegung geblieben? ARD-Korrespondent Benjamin Weber, der in Teheran recherchiert hat, berichtet, wie das Land heute mit dem Vermächtnis von Mahsa Amini umgeht und warum im Land eine tiefgreifende Veränderung bevorstehen könnte. In Gaza-Stadt hat die israelische Armee eine Bodenoffensive begonnen. Das Ziel: Hamas-Stellungen zerstören und die Freilassung von Geiseln erzwingen. Doch die Strategie von Premier Benjamin Netanjahu stößt international wie im eigenen Land auf massive Kritik. Warum ist Netanjahu bereit, eine mögliche Isolation Israels in Kauf zu nehmen? Ein Kommentar von Clemens Verenkotte Fotos zeigen den flüchtigen Ex-Wirecard-Manager Jan Marsalek erstmals in Moskau. Arne Meyer-Fünffinger von BR-Recherche ordnet die politische Dimension dieser Bilder ein. Das Deutschlandticket soll bald 63 Euro im Monat kosten. Hans-Joachim Vieweger argumentiert in seinem Kommentar, dass ein höherer Preis unvermeidbar ist, wenn das Angebot Zukunft haben soll.

In Iran, mandatory hijab laws sparked nationwide protests three years ago over death in custody of Mahsa Jina Amini. While the presence of morality police on the streets has declined, the regime says it is instead using digital tools such as citizen-watch apps, drones and facial recognition to enforce its crackdown. But women are finding new ways to resist. - В Иране законы об обязательном ношении хиджаба три года назад спровоцировали общенациональные протесты из-за смерти под стражей Махсы Джины Амини. Хотя присутствие полиции нравов на улицах сократилось, режим заявляет, что вместо этого использует цифровые инструменты для усиления своих репрессий.

Dr Dara Conduit at the University of Melbourne explains the impact of the death in custody of Mahsa Jina Amini three years ago on women's rights in Iran today.

Support us on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! Keir Starmer announced earlier this year that he would reduce the aid budget to 0.3% of national income, from 0.5%, to fund increased spending on defence. But according to the government's own impact assessment, Labour's deep aid cuts will hit children's education and reduce spending in women's health. Why are women worse affected by aid cuts? Because crisis is sexist. When disaster strikes, women are 14 times more likely to die than men. In Gaza, UN analysis showed close to 70% of verified victims over a six-month period were women and children. But women are also underrepresented in decision-making about how aid is distributed, and so the solutions rarely reflect this. In this episode recorded 2023, Media Storm partnered with the International Rescue Committee to platform the lived experience of women in disaster zones— not just as victims, but as leaders of solutions. The IRC makes a conscious effort to place women at the centre of emergency responses, and has connected us with pioneers in Yemen, Pakistan and the world's biggest refugee camp: Kakuma, in Kenya. We also hear voices from Afghanistan, Nigeria and North American indigenous communities, who reveal how conflict and climate change disproportionately impact women and girls. We were then joined in the studio by actress and Amnesty ambassador Nazanin Boniadi, to look at how a male-dominated mainstream media and Eurocentric headlines can hide the realities facing women of the world. We look at the unique case of Iran, where women have revolted following the state murder of Mahsa Amini in 2022, and the press' crucial role in fighting for human rights for everybody.

She speaks about the grooming gangs scandal, the silence of Western feminists, and the deep hypocrisy inside progressive politics when it comes to Islam and women's rights. Nuriyah also shares her harrowing personal story of escaping a forced marriage and dangerous interpretation of Sharia law—just moments before losing her freedom forever. We discuss: - Why Western feminists defend the Iranian regime - The truth about Iran before and after the 1979 Islamic Revolution - The rise of the Red-Green Alliance (Islamism + Leftism) - The fate of Mahsa Amini and the White Wednesday movement - Why British institutions are enabling extremism - What the Quran really says about women and white girls - Whether the UK could face a civil war if this ideology spreads - Nuriyah's own escape story—calling British police while under threat abroad - Why Stephen Fry and other celebrities may be afraid to speak out This is one of the most controversial, eye-opening interviews we've ever done.

A new and unexpected trend is emerging: the face of Ali Khamenei and the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran appearing in Western protests, from Toronto to London to Sydney. On this edition of Roqe, Jian Ghomeshi asks: Why are some Western activists and segments of the political Left embracing a regime widely known for its brutality, repression, and human rights abuses? Human rights lawyer Kaveh Shahrooz and academic Forouq Canaani join Jian to explore this ideological shift. From propaganda and anti-imperialism to diaspora backlash and the legacy of Mahsa Amini, this panel discussion dives deep into the dissonance of supporting "resistance" while uplifting tyranny. A thoughtful, provocative episode asking hard questions at a critical moment.

As missiles fly between Tehran and Tel Aviv, I'm joined by Iranian dissident Danial Taghaddos to make sense of a rapidly escalating war—and what it means for the future of Iran, Israel, and the region. Danial moved to Australia in 2018 and became politically active during the 2022 Mahsa Amini protests. A royalist and advocate for a return to constitutional monarchy under the Pahlavi dynasty, he's emerged as a compelling voice in the Iranian diaspora, challenging both the Islamic Republic and the Western narratives that often obscure the regime's abuses.In this episode, we talk about Iran's nuclear ambitions, what the regime actually wants from this war, and how Zoroastrianism and Persian identity shape Iranian views on Israel. We also unpack how the Iranian diaspora organizes abroad, why many Iranians support Israel despite the regime's propaganda, and how the West continues to misunderstand the Islamic Republic. From public executions to political repression—and threat of Islamism and regime spies operating in the West—this conversation is a sobering look at the human cost of Tehran's ambitions, and a hopeful one about the people resisting from within and without.

Dans les années 60, ils marchaient pour protester contre la ségrégation raciale aux États-Unis. À la fin des années 80, ils se rassemblaient Place Tian'anmen à Pékin, pour réclamer des réformes démocratiques et une libéralisation économique de leur pays. Plus récemment en 2018, ils s'engageaient dans la lutte contre le changement climatique, dans le sillage d'une jeune militante suédoise du nom de Greta Thunberg. En 2022, c'est la mort de Mahsa Amini, étudiante iranienne, qui les poussait dans la rue pour protester contre l'oppression du régime iranien. Tout au long du XXème et XXIème siècle, les jeunes se sont mobilisés pour plus de justice sociale, de solidarité, de liberté, défendre leur environnement pour une société qui leur ressemble. Au prix parfois d'une répression sévère. Et pour quels résultats ? Comment les mouvements de jeunes se sont structurés ? Quelles leçons tirer de leur révolte pour hier, aujourd'hui et pour les générations futures ?  Avec :• François Dupuis-Deri, enseignant–chercheur en Science politique et Études féministes à l'Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) et co-auteur avec Emanuelle Dufour de la BD Quand les élèves se révoltaient - Manuel d'histoire avant l'effondrement (Ecosociété, 2025)• Rimbar Mbainaissem, membre fondateur de la plateforme Les Jeunes Voix du Sahel avec l'appui de l'UNICEF, acteur du développement durable, ancien président du Parlement des enfants du Tchad, auteur de L'engagement, le prix à payer (Éditions Seguima, 2025) et actuellement, étudiant en France en analyse, conduite et stratégie d'entreprises agricoles. En fin d'émission, la rubrique Mondoblog chez les voisins avec Tanguy Lacroix. • Le blogueur camerounais William Bayiha a réalisé un podcast sur l'histoire du Cameroun.  • Thélyson Orélien, blogueur haïtien, exprime sa reconnaissance envers le Québec, qui l'a accueilli après le tremblement de terre.  Programmation musicale :► From Zion - Jahyanaï & Shaz►  Diplomatico - El Grande Toto.

Today, we sit down with Lily Meschi, the director of partner relations at Iran Alive Ministries, to hear her testimony of coming to Christ after growing up Muslim and surviving an abusive, arranged marriage. She shares with us her story of how she came to Christ in the midst of that abusive marriage after a family friend shared the gospel with her. She tells us about what it's like to grow up Muslim in Iran in the aftermath of the Islamic Revolution and how women suffer under the oppressive regime. Despite everything standing in its way, Christianity is on the rise in Iran as more and more people grow disillusioned with Islam, and Lily tells us how Iran Alive is spreading the gospel to the people of Iran and giving them hope.
