About this episode

Imara Jones and Ayman Mohyeldin discuss the complexities of Iran's relationships with its Gulf neighbors and the implications for U.S. foreign policy.

In this two-part series, Imara sits down with Ayman Mohyeldin of MS Now to break down the history, politics, and power dynamics between Iran, the United States, and Israel.  In this second episode, we take a deep dive into Iran’s complex relationships with its Gulf neighbors and examine how political narratives and dehumanization contribute to misunderstandings within U.S. foreign policy and the White House’s approach to Iran. This week’s Trans Joy features Matice Moore, an organizer and project director at The Brown Boi Project!
