About this episode
The episode discusses the survival of the Iranian regime amidst ongoing conflict and the implications for the Iranian people.
Arab Digest editor William Law's guest on this week's podcast is the Iran expert Sanam Vakil. As the war continues and Donald Trump flounders the Islamic regime is conducting its fight for survival with a tenacity that neither the Israelis or the Americans anticipated. Should the regime survive the majority who want change will lose but if it falls the likeliest outcome is chaos with further suffering inflicted on the Iranian people.
