Iran at War: Sovereignty against Empire Helyeh Doutaghi
Adnan speaks with anti-imperialist legal scholar and journalist Dr. Helyeh Doutaghi, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Tehran and contributer to Vocal Politics, about life in Iran during the Ramadan War, revolutionary Shi'i populism that has been galvanized nightly in the streets, forms of social solidarity and social order in response to US-Israeli civilian attacks, and the centrality of Palestine and the decolonization of the region. A fascinating discussion with Helyeh's first hand observations and thoroughly insightful analysis. This is illuminating and inspiring! A must for anyone seeking to understand Iranian society during this war and its broader regional and global consequences.
