Latest on Iran: Trump’s ‘Madman Doctrine,’ Israeli Intervention, and More

Senior Non Resident Fellows Negar Mortazavi and Sina Toossi talk to Zeteo subscribers about how foreign attacks on Iran won’t save the protesters on the streets.

Could the Islamic Republic of Iran be standing on its last leg? How close are we getting to a US and Israeli war against Iran? Does Reza Pahlavi have actual support inside Iran? In a Zeteo Town Hall Q&A, moderated by Prem Thakker, Negar Mortazavi and Sina Toossi discuss the latest news out of Iran, where thousands of people have reportedly been killed during ongoing protests across more than 180 cities. This conversation was recorded just as personnel at a US military base in Qatar were being urged to leave amid fears that Trump could launch another military attack against Iran.

Our fellows also took questions from the audience:
-Trump’s seriousness in launching military strikes on Iran
-Israel’s role in what’s happening on the ground
-The slowing pace of protests and what that means for the Iranian regime
-The role that Reza Pahlavi, son of Iran’s last shah, is playing
-The success of past reform moments – and what lessons can be learned this time
