Should the Iranian People Seize This Moment? (featuring Mehdi Parpanchi)
About this episode
In the last week, U.S. and Israeli forces have hit the heart of the Islamic Republic’s power from Fordow and Natanz to Evin Prison and the Basij headquarters. Khamenei has gone dark. The Islamic Republic is on the defensive. But moments like this can go two ways: collapse or crackdown. Is this the moment the opposition seizes — or one the regime survives?
Mehdi Parpanchi is one of the sharpest voices covering Iran today and the executive editor of Iran International, the 24/7 Persian-language channel the regime fears most.
He joins host Mark Dubowitz to unpack what’s breaking inside the regime — and what might be rising to replace it.
