What to criticize about Qatar's World Cup? And what's next for protests in Iran?

from The Global Agora · host Andrej Matisak

Does the football World Cup in Qatar deserve so much criticism? Is it somewhat illegitimate? And what about the beer for fans? I talked to Arash Azizi, a scholar and the PhD candidate in history at New York University (NYU). He researches the history of socialist and Islamist movements in Iran and the Arab world.  But we didn't discuss just Qatar and football. We also debated how he sees the future of the revolutionary movement in Iran.  Arash is the author of the book - The Shadow Commander: Soleimani, the US and Iran’s Global Ambitions. Listen to our conversation. And if you enjoy what I do, please support me on Ko-fi! Thank you. https://ko-fi.com/amatisak
