Roqe Ep.379 - Did Trump Drop the Ball? - Ari Aramesh, Bijan Kian

Just weeks ago, the world watched as tensions between Israel and Iran surged and the Iranian people appeared to be approaching a pivotal moment. The conditions for an uprising were aligning. Then came a ceasefire. Then… Trump’s shift - signalling a willingness to work with the same Islamic Republic regime he once vowed to crush. So: Did Trump blow a real opportunity for change? Jian Ghomeshi hosts a passionate, high-level panel with legal analyst and political commentator Ari Aramesh, and former U.S. senior official Bijan Kian, to tackle the hard questions: Did the Trump pivot deflate the movement for freedom in Iran? Was there ever a plan to follow through? What does this mean for Iranians both inside and outside the country? Why does the regime seem untouched, emboldened even? A raw and revealing discussion about power, pressure, and the moment that may have slipped away. Find us on all major platforms and at RoqeMedia.com Follow Jian on Instagram: @JianGhomeshi
