As Iran’s nationwide protests increase the pressure on Iran’s civilian government and its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome Dr. Ammar Maleki, Director/Founder of GAMAAN research foundation and Assistant Professor of Political science at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. Dr. Maleki breaks down the current wave of protests in Iran into a broader sociopolitical and historical context. There is widespread public dissatisfaction linked to decades of brutal repression, multiple economic crises that have brought Iranian citizens to the financial brink, and a faltering regime that has been severely weakened regionally and on the global stage.
No call for reform: Amid nationwide protests, do Iranians envision new regime in free secular Iran?
