New Hope And Old Fears For Iranian Americans

For many Iranian Americans, the news of the Ayatollah’s death marked the closing of a painful chapter that began decades ago when families fled the regime’s rise. As the U.S. remains divided over the recent strikes, with the latest FOX News poll showing support split nearly 50-50, many in the Iranian diaspora are reflecting on their past while cautiously hoping for a different future for the country they once called home. Iranian American journalist and activist Tabby Refael and board-certified physician Dr. Houman Hemmati join the Rundown to share why the moment feels “bittersweet,” and what they believe could come next for Iran and its people. In the wake of Colin Gray’s conviction for his role in the 2024 Apalachee High School shooting, a critical dialogue has emerged regarding parental accountability, and the preventable nature of gun violence. Board-certified forensic psychiatrist Dr. Dan Bober joins to discuss the tragic combination of adolescent grievances and easy firearm access, the psychological script that leads marginalized youth to idolize past shooters, and his expert advice for parents on identifying warning signs of potential violent intent.
