What's happening in Iran? - an insider's view

Friday, 25 July 2025 - 10:00am to 10:30am

After two previous programs about Iran dealing with its last 70 years of political transformations and its recent and present involvement in the Palestine, Israel and US conflagration, Jacques has a conversation with former journalist and writer Shokoofeh Azar now living in Victoria and involved in our Borderlands library. 

We learn about the present situation under autocratic Islam/Mullah governance, the reaction of opposition groups to the Israel/US attacks and the hopes of large sections of the population for freedom and the collapse of the oppressive regime.
