About this episode
Just weeks before war erupted between Israel and Iran, journalist Max Blumenthal and Ahmad Hussam traveled to Tehran. In this exclusive podcast episode, they reflect on what they witnessed, how the political atmosphere felt on the ground, and what the West gets wrong about Iran.
They break down the lead-up to the war, the regional tensions you won’t hear about on mainstream media, the history of the Islamic Republic, and what could happen next.
