Iran Explained: History, Power, and Western Interference

In this episode of Global Politics with Leo, I take you on a journey through Iran’s rich and turbulent history - from the Persian Empire to today’s escalating protests. We unpack the foundations of Iran’s national identity, the rise and fall of democratic movements, the role of oil in shaping foreign policy, and the deep imprint of Western interference. Why are Iranians protesting now? What does the structure of Iran’s regime really look like? And how could the current unrest reshape global politics? This is a story of power, ideology, resilience, authoritarianism - and a nation at a critical crossroads. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
