Everything you need to know about the Iran protests

The podcast examines the escalating protests in Iran, triggered by hyperinflation and economic grievances. These demonstrations, beginning in Tehran's bazaars, have spread nationwide, prompting a violent government crackdown amidst an internet blackout. The protests reflect a desire for a democratic state and have expanded beyond economic concerns to include students, women, and the elderly. The discussion highlights the severe economic conditions, with food inflation at 70% and the currency devalued by over 99% since 1979. The program further explores potential external intervention, particularly from the U.S., and the complex geopolitical factors influencing the situation, including Iran's proxy wars and weakened regional allies.
