Podcast appearances and mentions of mahsa amini

« Morte de tristesse un peu plus d'un an après le décès de son mari et l'amour de sa vie », selon les mots de ses proches. Marjane Satrapi est décédée le 4 juin à l'âge de 56 ans.L'artiste franco-iranienne s'était fait connaître du grand public dans les années 2000 avec Persepolis. Cette bande dessinée autobiographique raconte son enfance dans le Téhéran des années 1970 et 1980, la chute du Shah d'Iran, remplacé par le régime islamique qui perdure aujourd'hui, puis son exil en Europe.Marjane Satrapi avait par la suite adapté cette saga au cinéma, en 2007, et réalisé plusieurs longs métrages. Ces dernières années, elle avait soutenu très activement le mouvement féministe Femme, vie, liberté, né de la révolte secouant l'Iran après la mort de la jeune iranienne Mahsa Amini, en septembre 2022.Sur quel modèle s'est construite Marjane Satrapi ? D'où lui venait sa soif de liberté ? Comment est-elle parvenue à raconter son pays, l'Iran, à un public occidental ? Et pourquoi son œuvre a-t-elle posé un jalon majeur dans l'histoire de la bande dessinée ?Pour évoquer cette femme complexe et radicale qui avait choisi la France comme terre d'exil, Annick Cojean est l'invitée du podcast « L'Heure du Monde ». Grand reporter au Monde, elle s'était entretenue avec l'artiste franco-iranienne en octobre 2020. A son témoignage s'ajoutent les analyses de Fréderic Potet et de Roxana Azimi. Journalistes au service Culture du Monde, ils éclairent l'héritage laissé par l'artiste dans le 9e art et pour la diaspora iranienne.Un épisode d'Esther Michon. Réalisation : Thomas Zeng.

Plus de 100 jours de guerre contre l'Iran, déjà. Comment survit et résiste la société iranienne ? Nous poserons la question à Chowra Makaremi. L'anthropologue a passé les premières années de sa vie dans le pays avant d'échapper au régime et de venir vivre en France. En 2022, elle a tenu un journal du soulèvement déclenché par la mort de Mahsa Amini. Et dans « Résistances affectives », son dernier essai publié à La Découverte, elle révèle le pouvoir des émotions et démontre comment naissent en Iran - mais pas seulement - des politiques de l'attachement : véritables réponses aux politiques de la cruauté. Chowra Makaremi est notre invitée, cette semaine. De quelle tristesse meurt-on ? C'est la question que pose l'écrivaine et philosophe Camille Moreau dans son « A quoi tu penses ? ». Elle s'interroge après le décès de l'autrice Marjane Satrapi : ses proches ont indiqué qu'elle était « morte de tristesse », un peu plus d'un an après la disparition de son mari. Dans « En toutes lettres ! », le journaliste et reporter de guerre Wilson Fache écrit à Sudaba et Farida, deux activistes afghanes.

Send us Fan MailA regime can use ballots, slogans, and revolutionary language and still build a cage. We dig into why the Islamic Republic of Iran stands out as a totalitarian theocracy that fuses modern surveillance and bureaucracy with claims of divine rule, turning dissent into “blasphemy” and private life into a policing project. If you want to understand the morality police, censorship, persecution of minorities, and the legal machinery that makes the supreme leader untouchable, we connect the dots in plain terms.We also revisit the 1979 Islamic Revolution with clear eyes: overthrowing the Shah did not guarantee freedom, and the coalition that sought self-determination was systematically betrayed as Khomeini's clerical faction consolidated power. From there, we test the regime's favorite talking point, “anti-imperialism,” against what it actually exports: proxy power. We walk through how Hezbollah in Lebanon, Iran-backed militias in Iraq, and the Houthis in Yemen reflect a repeatable model that undermines sovereignty and deepens humanitarian crises, even when packaged as “resistance.”Then we tackle the hardest questions: the Iran nuclear program, the West's temptation to treat an ideological theocracy like a normal negotiating partner, and why nuclear weapons capability could raise the odds of regional proliferation and reckless proxy escalation. We also address the regime's antisemitism and fixation on Israel as ideology rather than mere policy, and we end where the stakes are most human: the Iranian people. From the Green Movement to Women Life Freedom after Mahsa Amini, we highlight the courage of protest and the brutality of repression, and we ask what real solidarity should look like.

En 1978, Ruhollah Jomeini no tenía ejército ni televisión. Tenía un grabador de cassette portátil y una red de fieles dispuestos a copiar cintas. Desde un pueblo a treinta kilómetros de París, sus sermones grabados viajaban por la línea de teléfono hasta Irán, se multiplicaban en miles de copias y resonaban en mezquitas y bazares de todo Irán. El sha controlaba la radio, la televisión y los periódicos. El cassette fue lo único que no pudo controlar. Este episodio cuenta la historia de un invento diseñado para dictar cartas de oficina que terminó derrocando a un monarca, alimentando una resistencia cultural y anticipando la lógica de internet con treinta años de antelación. El recorrido arranca en 1963, con Lou Ottens y la decisión de Philips de renunciar a las patentes del cassette, y atraviesa el Irán prerevolucionario de Googoosh, el golpe de 1953 organizado por la CIA y el MI6, y la cassetternet: la primera red horizontal e indestructible de la historia. Luego viene la ironía central: el régimen que usó el cassette para tomar el poder lo criminalizó de inmediato. Y los jóvenes iraníes respondieron igual que sus padres: con más cassettes, esta vez cargados de Queen y The Doors bajo etiqueta de recitaciones coránicas. El relato llega hasta el presente: Radio Farda, el apagón de internet de 2019, las protestas de 2022 y la muerte de Mahsa Amini, «Baraye» de Shervin Hajipour —cuarenta millones de escuchas en 48 horas, arresto tres días después—, los terminales Starlink como cassettes clandestinos en 2026, y la masacre de enero de ese año. La tecnología de la libertad es siempre más barata, más distribuida y más difícil de controlar que la tecnología de la represión. El Estado gana batallas. Pierde la carrera. Escúchalo en el canal de "La Música de la Historia" (LaMdelaH).

Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée en public à l'École alsacienne le 12 avril 2026.Avec cette semaine :Bernard Hourcade, géographe, directeur de recherche émérite au CNRS et ancien directeur de l'l'Institut français de Recherche en Iran.Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste, ancien président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères de l'Assemblée nationale.François Bujon de l'Estang, ambassadeur de France.Béatrice Giblin, directrice de la revue Hérodote et fondatrice de l'Institut Français de Géopolitique.L'IRAN, AVEC BERNARD HOURCADEPour cette émission thématique consacrée à l'Iran nous accueillons Bernard Hourcade, géographe, directeur de recherche émérite au CNRS et ancien directeur de l'l'Institut français de Recherche en Iran de 1978 à 1993. Grand comme trois fois la France, peuplé de 92 millions d'habitants, riche de pétrole et de gaz, l'Iran est soumis depuis 1979 au régime théocratique des mollahs, de plus en plus contesté dans la population. En 2022, avec le mouvement Femme, Vie, Liberté après la mort de Mahsa Amini, causée par des violences lors de son arrestation par la police des mœurs pour « port de vêtements inappropriés ». En 2026, par des manifestations contre la situation économique dans plusieurs villes manifestations réprimées dans le sang.Le 28 février, la guerre lancée par Israël et les Etats-Unis contre l'Iran a tué dès le premier jour le Guide suprême, Ali Khamenei, et un certain nombre de cadres du régime. Désormais, pour la première fois depuis l'avènement de la République islamique en 1979, toutes les nouvelles figures clefs du pouvoir sont issues des Gardiens de la révolution, l'armée d'élite du régime. Tandis que son fils le nouveau guide, Mojtaba Khamenei, nommé le 8 mars, a disparu de l'espace public, alimentant les doutes sur le fait qu'il soit encore en vie ou en état de gouverner, c'est un ancien Gardien de la révolution Mohammad Ghalibaf, le président du Parlement qui s'impose comme une des figures centrales du pouvoir. Mais c'est la nomination, le 24 mars, d'un dur, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr à la tête du Conseil suprême de sécurité nationale qui signale un virage radical. Ces nouvelles figures clefs du régime iranien témoignent-elles d'un glissement d'un régime théocratique à une dictature militaire ? C'est une des questions que nous soumettrons à notre invité.Notre invité qui explique que, mal connue en Occident, la société iranienne est schématiquement composée de trois groupes. Une minorité - environ 10 % à 15 % - qui soutient activement le régime. Une autre minorité, entre 20 % et 30 %, qui s'oppose frontalement au système et qui a déjà courageusement manifesté à plusieurs reprises. Entre les deux, une majorité silencieuse, probablement autour de 50 % à 60 % de la population qui souhaite un changement profond, mais surtout la stabilité et ne veut ni la guerre civile, ni le chaos. Confrontée aux effets de la guerre, la population fait face à une inflation record - selon les données du Centre statistique d'Iran, le taux d'inflation sur douze mois a atteint 50,6 % au 20 mars (date de la fin de l'année iranienne), soit le niveau d'inflation annuelle le plus élevé jamais enregistré à cette échéance depuis quatre-vingt-deux ans. La guerre entraine également des pertes d'emploi et une répression politique renforcée. Plus aucune semaine ne s'écoule sans que plusieurs exécutions aient lieu. Depuis le 28 février, au moins 14 prisonniers accusés de délits politiques ou sécuritaires ont été exécutés.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Playwright Ava Alavi moved from Iran to Canada shortly before Mahsa Amini was arrested and beaten for allegedly violating Iran's headscarf law. Amini's death and the movement that followed inspired Alavi's new play, "Sound," which premiered at Ottawa's Undercurrents Festival in early February. Alavi shares how creating geopolitical theatre helps her deal with what's happening back home.

What fate awaits the Lionesses who are returning to Iran? Iranian-Australian journalist Shokoofeh Azar is hoping for the best – that the women will be forced into a humiliating public confession - but won’t be imprisoned, tortured or executed. Shookofeh has personal experience of how the Islamic Republic treats women. After several arrests and stints in prison in Iran, Shookofeh came to Australia on a people-smuggling vessel, via Christmas Island - a path many Iranians have taken in their desperation to be free. Now, she works for The Australian. See the video of this interview on our YouTube channel and read some of Shookofeh’s work here: Bombed, afraid, defiant: Iranian voices from the war Sexual torture, Koran beatings: the horrors women face in Iran’s prisons Amid regime repression, Iranians are so angry they can’t feel fear This episode of The Front is presented by Claire Harvey, produced by Kristen Amiet and edited by Lia Tsamoglou.

A morte de Mahsa Amini, em 2022, após ser detida pela "Polícia da Moralidade" por deixar mechas de cabelo à mostra, foi o estopim para a maior onda de protestos no Irã em décadas. Este vídeo analisa profundamente a estrutura de repressão da teocracia iraniana, revelando como o regime utiliza a tortura, a violência sexual e execuções públicas para manter o controle social. Desde a Revolução Islâmica de 1979, o Irã transformou mulheres e minorias em cidadãos de segunda classe, aplicando interpretações extremistas da Sharia. Abordamos fatos documentados sobre a perseguição à comunidade LGBT+, as cirurgias forçadas de redesignação sexual e o paradoxal silêncio de setores progressistas do Ocidente diante dessas atrocidades. Conheça a história da antiga Pérsia, a ascensão dos Aiatolás e a realidade atual de um povo que luta pelo direito básico de existir.

Hoy en Bellumartis, nos sumergimos en las entrañas del poder en Irán junto a dos invitados de excepción: el historiador Mariano López de Miguel y la analista Marta González Isidoro. Analizamos la arquitectura diseñada por Ruhollah Jomeini y cómo el concepto del Velayat-e Faqih transformó el chiismo en una herramienta de control político total. Desde la polémica sucesión de 1989 hasta el papel actual de la Guardia Revolucionaria (IRGC), desgranamos los hilos que sostienen el trono de Alí Jamenei. Puntos clave del debate: La Innovación de Jomeini: ¿Teología legítima o blindaje político tras la revolución de 1979? El Precedente Jamenei: La flexibilidad del marco jurídico cuando la supervivencia del sistema está en juego. La Asamblea de Expertos: ¿Órgano autónomo o mera instancia de legitimación? El Escenario Post-Jamenei: ¿Es viable un liderazgo colegiado o caminamos hacia una "dinastización" con Mojtaba Jamenei? Presión Social: Cómo las protestas de jóvenes y mujeres erosionan la autoridad simbólica del Rahbar. Un viaje profundo desde la historia hasta la prospectiva estratégica para entender quién mandará en el Irán de mañana.

Los kurdos se encuentran frente a un paradoja: son indispensables cuando Occidente necesita aliados en la región, pero son abandonados cuando llegan los momentos de tomar decisiones políticas. El acuerdo firmado a finales de enero entre Siria y los kurdos sirios detuvo el sueño de un gran Kurdistán. La pérdida de autonomía del Rojava ha reavivado un sentimiento de inseguridad. 

In deze indringende aflevering van De Nieuwe Wereld spreekt Jasper van Dijk met Asefeh Eskandari over de recente aanval op het Iraanse regime en de onzekere toekomst van het land. Terwijl de beelden van dansende mensen op de straten van Teheran de wereld rondgaan, heerst er bij de Iraanse diaspora een complexe mix van emoties. Is dit het begin van de bevrijding, of het startschot voor een nieuwe, bloedige fase?Asefeh, wiens ouders in de jaren '80 de beruchte Iraanse gevangenissen overleefden, deelt haar persoonlijke verhaal en geeft een vlijmscherpe analyse van de huidige situatie. Van de economische noodtoestand (€40 voor een doos eieren) tot de diepe verdeeldheid binnen de oppositie: hoe realistisch is de droom van een democratisch en federaal Iran?In dit gesprek komen de volgende thema's aan bod:De directe impact van de aanvallen op de Iraanse bevolking.De nalatenschap van Mahsa Amini en de "Vrouw, Leven, Vrijheid"-beweging.De dreiging van de 'lange arm van Teheran' en infiltratie in Nederland.De rol van internationale spelers zoals Trump en Netanyahu.De hoop op een terugkeer naar een vrij Perzië: van poëzie tot protestrap.-----------------------------------Steun DNWMaak het geluid van de Nieuwe Wereld mogelijk.

pWotD Episode 3224: Ali Khamenei Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 2,738,521 views on Saturday, 28 February 2026 our article of the day is Ali Khamenei.Ali Hosseini Khamenei (19 April 1939 – 28 February 2026) was an Iranian cleric and politician who served as the supreme leader of Iran from 1989 until his killing by US and Israeli forces in 2026. Khamenei previously served as the president of Iran from 1981 to 1989. His tenure as supreme leader, spanning 36 years and six months, made him the longest-serving head of state in the Middle East at the time of his death and the longest-serving Iranian leader since Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.Born into the Khamenei family, he studied at a hawza in his hometown of Mashhad, later settling in Qom in 1958, where he attended the classes of Ruhollah Khomeini. Khamenei became involved in opposition to Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, and was arrested six times before being exiled for three years by the Shah's regime. Khamenei was a mainstream figure in the 1978–1979 Iranian Revolution, and upon its success, held many posts in the newly established Islamic Republic of Iran. In the aftermath of the revolution, he was the target of an attempted assassination that paralysed his right arm. There had been continued assassination threats against Khamenei by Israel. Khamenei served as the third president of Iran from 1981 to 1989 during the Iran–Iraq War, when he also developed close ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). After the death of Khomeini in 1989, Khamenei was elected supreme leader by the Assembly of Experts.As supreme leader, Khamenei supported Iran's nuclear program for civilian use while issuing a fatwa forbidding the production of weapons of mass destruction. Khamenei favoured economic privatization of state-owned industries and, with oil and gas reserves, transformed Iran into an "energy superpower". His foreign policy centered on Shia Islamism and exporting the Iranian Revolution. Khamenei played a pivotal role in the development of the IRGC, transforming it into a primary tool for domestic control and regional influence. Under Khamenei, Iran supported the "Axis of Resistance" coalition in the Syrian civil war, War in Iraq, Yemeni civil war and the Gaza war, as well as Russia during the Russo-Ukrainian war. A staunch critic of Israel and of Zionism, Khamenei supported the Palestinians in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict; his rhetoric included calls for Israel's destruction and antisemitic tropes. Under Khamenei, Iran was involved in proxy wars with Israel and Saudi Arabia; in 2025 and 2026, tensions with Israel and the United States escalated to a 12-day armed conflict and ongoing strikes.Identified as a pragmatic hardliner, Khamenei sidelined leftist factions, moderate clerics, and political dissidents, while occasionally easing restrictions when the regime's stability or legitimacy had been threatened. His leadership had been closely associated with the expansion of state militarization and the consolidation of power within the office of the Supreme Leader. Khamenei had also faced many protests, including the 1999 Iranian student protests, the 2009 Iranian presidential election protests, the 2011–2012 Iranian protests, the 2017–2018 Iranian protests, the 2018–2019 Iranian general strikes and protests, the 2019–2020 Iranian protests, the Mahsa Amini protests, and the 2025–2026 Iranian protests. Journalists, bloggers and other individuals were put on trial in Iran for the charges of insulting Supreme Leader Khamenei, often in conjunction with blasphemy charges. Their sentences included lashing and jail time; some of them died in custody. He was also known by the title Ayatollah and was considered one of the leading Shia Muslim marja' in the world. Khamenei's critics viewed him as a repressive despot responsible for repression, mass murders and other acts of injustice.On 28 February 2026, Khamenei was killed in an airstrike during the 2026 Israeli–United States strikes on Iran.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 07:29 UTC on Sunday, 1 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Ali Khamenei on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Salli.

This episode was recorded on Jan 21, 2026.Wasay Mir hosts a conversation with Trita Parsi, Executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute and one of the most influential voices on US-Iran relations in Washington.A Johns Hopkins SAIS PhD and author of four books on American foreign policy in the Middle East, Parsi unpacks Iran's unfolding domestic crisis in January 2026. Seven months after devastating strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, mass protests have erupted amid economic collapse and an unprecedented regime crackdown.Together, they explore whether this uprising differs from past movements like the Green Revolution or Mahsa Amini protests, what the collapse of Iran's regional proxy network means for the regime's survival, and whether Gulf states actually want a weakened Iran or fear what comes after.Parsi's personal history as the son of an outspoken academic who faced repression under both the Shah and Ayatollah Khomeini provides unique insight into Iranian authoritarianism.Produced by the Phillip Merrill Center for Strategic Studies at Johns Hopkins SAIS.Researched and hosted by Wasay Mir; edited by Vishal Gogusetti

Iran is a real-world stress test of freedom: the Islamic Republic is built to outlast dissent. In this special Iran Unchained episode, David talks with Sana Ebrahimi and Amin Soleimani about the regime's control stack, including unelected theocracy, street-level coercion, corruption as governance, and propaganda that reaches far beyond Iran's borders. They unpack gender apartheid, internet blackouts during uprisings, why protests keep returning, and what the West gets wrong about “intervention” and regional stability. ---

With 2026 bringing widespread anti-government protests to Iran, and the government's brutal crackdowns leading to thousands of people killed and arrested, we're rereleasing our coverage on the current regime – and how we got here – through the lens of Mahsa Amini's murder.--On 19 May 2024, Ebrahim Raisi – “The Butcher of Tehran” and President of the Islamic Republic of Iran – died in a helicopter crash. Immediately, theories of who had killed him and why, swept the worlds' media.But while his passing inspired this episode, we're also going to look at his many thousands of victims – and in particular how his actions led to the murder of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in 2022. It was a single death which sparked protests that challenged the mullahs of Iran like never before.--Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / InstagramSources and more available on redhandedpodcast.com

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.

Las protestas iniciadas en Teherán por la crisis económica se han convertido en una impugnación abierta a la teocracia islámica, respondida con una represión mortal sin precedentes. En El Debate de France 24 analizamos si esta crisis puede derivar en cambios estructurales en Irán o si el poder logrará sofocar la contestación popular.

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.

L'Iran est confronté à une vague de protestations inédite depuis l'avènement de la République islamique, en 1979. Et ce, trois ans seulement après le mouvement Femme, vie, liberté, né en septembre 2022, consécutivement à la mort de Mahsa Amini. Cette fois, la révolte est liée à la crise économique et à l'inflation incontrôlée qui touchent la population.Bien que la répression ait été mesurée au cours des premiers jours de manifestations, le régime a rapidement changé de stratégie, préférant étouffer le mouvement dans le sang. Depuis qu'Internet a été coupé dans le pays, jeudi 8 janvier, les rares images et témoignages qui parviennent à contourner la censure révèlent toute l'étendue de la brutalité dont use le régime. Plusieurs ONG évoquent des centaines, voire des milliers de morts, et sans doute plus de 10 000 arrestations.Cette contestation peut-elle faire tomber la République islamique ? A quel point le régime iranien est-il fragilisé, à l'intérieur du pays mais aussi sur la scène internationale ? Dans cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », Ghazal Golshiri, journaliste au service International du Monde, nous raconte ce soulèvement du peuple iranien.Un épisode de Garance Muñoz. Réalisation : Thomas Zeng. Présentation et rédaction en chef : Sophie Larmoyer. Dans cet épisode : extraits de manifestations à Téhéran, les 6 et 9 janvier 2026 ; d'un discours de l'ayatollah Ali Khamenei, le 9 janvier 2026 ; d'une prise de parole du président des Etats-Unis, Donald Trump, le 9 janvier 2026 ; et d'une déclaration du fils du dernier chah d'Iran, Reza Pahlavi, le 11 janvier 2026.Cet épisode a été publié le 14 janvier 2026.---Pour soutenir "L'Heure du Monde" et notre rédaction, abonnez-vous sur abopodcast.lemonde.fr Hébergé par 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.

durée : 00:12:31 - Journal de 7 h - Déjà profondément fragilisée par le soulèvement féministe "Femme, vie, liberté" - né du meurtre de Mahsa Amini par la police des mœurs en 2022 - la République islamique fait désormais face à un mouvement de contestation d'une profonde radicalité.

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 21870 TEHRAN

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. - Протесты в Иране распространились на новые провинции, представляя серьёзный вызов для руководства страны. Это крупнейшая волна протестов со времён общенациональных демонстраций 2022 года, которые были спровоцированы смертью Махсы Амини во время полицейского задержания.

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.

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. Tickets go on sale next Wednesday, Dec 10th at 9am ET, with early-bird pricing for the first 24 hours. This edition of Roqe is created with support from Quasar Homes.

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.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 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. 1115-1130 Iran's Women-Led Uprising: Origins, Brutality, and Defiance.

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.
