from Generation Jihad · host FDD's Long War Journal

Iran is erupting again — and this time, the protests are openly anti-regime. Strikes are spreading, nationalist slogans are surging, and the Islamic Republic’s margin for control is shrinking. Guest host Behnam Ben Taleblu is joined by Janatan Sayeh and Navid Mohebbi to discuss what’s driving the unrest and what (dwindling) options the regime still has. The Iran protest resources you need: We're tracking the Iran protests at fdd.org/iranprotests. Mark's podcast, The Iran Breakdown, is required listening. Start here with his interview with Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. Follow FDD's Iran experts on X, including Mark, Behnam, Saeed, Janatan
