The Mule Your Native Analyst

Hallo - This is Somaye Dehban, a devoted Dutchified Iranian whose life is quite interwoven with politics. Your Native Analyst is a series of my op-eds (opinion-editorials) about how the events in Iran and the Middle East are reflected (or not) in the Western Media.

In Episode #2: The Mule, I talk about the Islamic Republic of Iran’s political system and how complicated and yet straightforward it is. This complicated political system creates a lot of room for the Iran’s government/regime to manipulate not only its own population but also the other governments.

I make a comparison between this political system and a mule, which is an inbreed between horse and donkey. And why should we – as the West – keep this characteristic of Iran’s Political System in mind when dealing with Iran’s Islamic Republic?

Join me every 2nd Tuesday of the month to hear about the reality of life in that part of the world.
