About this episode
The Iranian regime is wobbling and for the first time in decades, it feels different. As protests erupt across more than 100 cities, Iranians are no longer chanting vague slogans, they’re openly calling for the return of the Shah. This week, the panel breaks down why this uprising may be the real deal: cracks inside the IRGC, open defections and the sudden re-emergence of Reza Pahlavi as a unifying figure. Add Trump’s ominous warnings, regime brutality caught on camera and Iran’s global terror web, and you get a moment that could redraw the Middle East. Is this the beginning of the end for the Islamic Republic… or its most dangerous phase yet?
