from Hindustan Times Podcast · host HT Smartcast

Is Donald Trump laying the groundwork for regime change in Iran? And is Washington preparing for the return of the Shah’s son, Reza Pahlavi? In a dramatic escalation, the U.S. has joined Israel in striking Iran’s nuclear sites, and just hours later, Trump posted a tweet echoing his famous slogan: “Make Iran Great Again.” But this time, it's not a campaign rally. It’s a signal perhaps, to topple Iran’s Islamic regime.We dive into Trump’s statement, Iran’s expected response, and the eerie parallels with 1953, when the CIA orchestrated a coup to reinstall the Shah. Now, Reza Pahlavi, the exiled crown prince, says this is the moment for regime change.Is history repeating itself? And if it is what does that mean for Iran, for the U.S., and for the rest of the Middle East?We revisit America’s track record in Afghanistan and Iraq—because when Washington tries to pick a leader, it often ends up creating its next enemy.#Iran #TrumpTweet #RezaPahlavi #MakeIranGreatAgain #RegimeChange #GreyZone #MiddleEast #USIranTensions #OperationAjax #IranWar #USForeignPolicy #CIAHistory #Ayatollah #IslamicRepublic #ShahOfIran #IranProtests #Tehran #Khamenei #TrumpIran #ProxyWar #AmericanImperialism #Taliban #ISIS #Mossadegh #USMiddleEast #IranCrisis #AnanyaDuttaWatch the full episode on YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8PqlgWU_Zk
