Awakening when he refused to stomp on the American and Israeli flags in Iran - with Sherman Niamehr

from Awakenings In Real Life · host Dan Cohen

Sherman Niamehr is an Italian-born American, former stockbroker, and memoir author whose life took a dramatic turn during a period of unexpected confinement at an IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) military base in Iran. His quiet act of inner defiance—refusing to march on the American and Israeli flags—led to brutal interrogations and a spiritual reckoning that shaped the rest of his life. His book called In The Shadows of the IRGC, is one of resilience, awakening, and the search for inner freedom amidst systems of fear and indoctrination. He’s now a family man building his life in the U.S., and he shares his story to encourage clarity, and freedom of thought in the face of oppression.
