Iran’s clerical regime can reform itself — provided Khamenei goes, says Iranian historian Arash Azizi
About this episode
Arash Azizi discusses the potential for reform in Iran's regime contingent on the departure of Khamenei amidst ongoing nuclear negotiations.
Efforts to reach a diplomatic solution to the US-Iranian standoff over Tehran’s nuclear program are continuing apace. However, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei remains implacably opposed to any concessions. Iranian historian Arash Azizi discusses the suffering of ordinary Iranians and outlines the scenarios that could unfold as the regime faces its gravest threat since the 1979 Revolution.
