Iran : Between Silence & Resistance
A Conversation with Dr Shahin Nejad
In this episode, we examine Iran through the lens of silence and resistance—questioning why regional powers, Western governments, and progressive movements often remain muted in the face of the Islamic Republic’s violence. We explore the geopolitical interests of actors such as Turkey and Qatar, the selective outrage of global activism, and the contradictions within anti-imperialist discourse. The discussion also addresses the regime’s escalating repression, the limits of state terror, and whether Iranian society has reached a point of irreversible defiance. Framed historically and analytically, this conversation invites students and scholars of Middle Eastern studies to reflect on moral responsibility, political realism, and the future of Iran.
