~Persian thuuuuuugs, but Contras from Nicaragua~
Protests abound, hijabs burned, shots fired, kabobs unseasoned: A lot's been happening in Iran. Once again, the Hot Pocket lads offer some historical context and advice to chew on.
We focus on the history of the BP oil company, formerly known as the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, to explain why the West has always been so interested in this part of the war. All of which becomes painfully relevant for when we look at the CIA-backed coup of Mohammad Mosaddegh and the establishment of the Pahlavi dynasty.
Which leads us to this episode's thesis: Not all skinfolk are kinfolk. There's plenty of reasons to support the people of Iran, but there's plenty of Iranians with bad intent. And we close off with a discussion about the hijab and modest wear in general.
Skip to 4:30 if you want to jump right into the actual news/history.
