LBP E35 A New Iran is Almost Here!

In today’s episode of the Liberty Brief, Robert Melso and Dr. Tom Giordano reveal the complex history of modern Iran, continuing through the critical Sunni-Shia schism and centuries of rivalry with the Ottoman Empire. This episode explores the Qajar and Pahlavi dynasties, the impact of oil discovery and foreign intervention, leading to the dramatic 1979 Islamic Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Khomeini. Discover how the regime consolidated power, suppressed dissent, and became a leading state sponsor of terrorism using proxy groups. Finally, we explore the escalating conflict with Israel and the significant, newly unified Iranian opposition movement led by Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, aiming for self-determination and a democratic future for Iran.
