The Iron Dice | Uprising in Iran feat. Assal Rad
Added 2022-09-30 11:48:47 +0000 UTCHey gang,
I have another interview for you today! In the wake of protests erupting all accorss Iran after the killing of a young woman for wearing her headscarf too loosely, I'm talking to Assal Rad. As Research Director for the National Iranian American Council and historian for Middle East History, she provides us with unique insight into these protests and Iran more broadly.
I'm gonna have another Patreon-only bonus show for you next week, talking about elections in Italy and Sweden (spoilers, its bad folks). In October we'll get to the next part of The Fight for the Republic as well as another interview I have scheduled.
Hope you enjoy!
Dan
