Recommend

So tired of political extremes within the Iranian diaspora discourse. Either far too pro-western (US come save us like they saved Afghanistan) or complete IRGC crap. This is some of the most insightful stuff I’ve reheard coming from Iranians in a long time. And good to hear perspectives from Iranians on stuff happening in Middle East at the moment, hard to find. Would recommend

Excellent, insightful and informative

Really great podcast that does a deep dive in many of the issues facing US-Iranian politics, told from an expert/insiders vantage point.
