Political BreakdownToppling Iran’s Regime: Easier Said Than Done?The U.S. and Israel launched a widespread attack on Iran on Saturday, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. But despite his death, Iran’s regime has shown no signs of collapse, and remains defiant as airstrikes continue and casualties mount. Local lawmakers and politicians have criticized President Donald Trump’s decision to bomb Iran. Yet, Trump has not made clear how long the war will last and how the U.S. aims to achieve its objectives.
Scott and Marisa are joined by Abbas Milani, director of Iranian Studies at Stanford University, to discuss the political and economic impa...

Hoover Daily ReportHoover Daily Report | March 3, 2026Today, Abbas Milani takes readers back to remind them how Ayatollah Khomeini briefly feigned openness and progressive beliefs to manipulate his way to power during the 1979 Iranian Revolution, driving ordinary Iranians toward resistance ever since.

Eye For Iran“Day of infamy” and why the regime can’t kill its way out | Eye for Iran | EP 89“You cannot kill your way out of this.”That is how Iranian-American historian Abbas Milani describes the Islamic Republic’s response to Iran’s latest uprising, a crackdown he calls unprecedented in modern Iranian history.In this episode of Eye for Iran, Milani explains why mass killing and mass arrests have exposed the regime’s political death rather than restoring control. Drawing on new research documenting thousands of protests across Iran, he argues that fear no longer works, resistance is cumulative and the Islamic Republic cannot survive by violence alone.

窥探FMvol.44播客如何推翻一个帝国？从波斯到伊朗，一个文明的陨落。主播：萨亚节目简介当美军在中东集结，所有人都在问：川普会打伊朗吗？但在回答这个问题之前，我们需要理解一个更根本的疑问——这个国家，为什么从"波斯"变成了"伊朗"？本期节目通过2500年的历史跨度，揭示一个文明如何在40年内从天堂坠入地狱。---## 核心内容### [00:00-08:00] 波斯的辉煌与犹太人的盟约公元前539年，居鲁士大帝攻陷巴比伦，犹太人"开后门"助战。萨亚详细讲述了这段鲜为人知的历史：被巴比伦俘虏的犹太人如何帮助波斯灭国，而居鲁士又如何在第二年释放所有犹太奴隶，资助重建耶路撒冷圣殿。这段2500年前的恩情，解释了今天以色列与伊朗剪不断理还乱的关系。节目引用《圣经·以斯帖记》的故事：波斯王薛西斯娶了犹太女子以斯帖为王后，两个民族的命运从此交织。卢浮宫的波斯馆里，那些比坦克还大的石雕柱头，见证着古波斯文明的惊人高度。### [08:00-18:00] 伊朗的"大清"：卡扎尔王朝萨亚用精准的类比展示了伊朗与中国的历史镜像：18世纪突厥裔的卡扎尔王朝征服波斯，就像满清入主中原。为维护统治，卡扎尔大力推广伊斯兰什叶派，为百年后的神权统治埋下伏笔。1850年代，列强入侵，卡扎尔如同晚清一样割地赔款、丧权辱国。立宪运动失败后，"伊朗的袁世凯"礼萨·汗于1921年政变，1925年建立巴列维王朝。### [18:00-28:00] 站错队的代价1935年，礼萨·汗崇拜希特勒，为证明波斯人是"雅利安人"，将国名从Persia改为Iran。这个无心之举，反而在40年后保护了"波斯"的美名。1941年，因过于亲德，英苏联军入侵伊朗。礼萨·汗被流放南非，1944年客死异乡。萨亚总结："他什么都做对了，但站错了队。所以，死。"### [28:00-38:00] 最后的辉煌：小巴列维时代吸取父亲教训，小巴列维坚定亲美。1960-1970年代，伊朗经济奇迹：1973年GDP增长33%，1974年达到惊人的40%。1967年10月26日的帝后同时加冕典礼极尽奢华：国王王冠镶嵌3,380颗钻石，王后凤冠的中央是一颗150克拉祖母绿。7岁的小王子礼萨站在父母中间，不知12年后他将开始长达47年的流亡。1972年，法拉赫王后访华，北京全城小学生停课一个月排练欢迎仪式——这是中国外交突破的重要时刻。### [38:00-45:00] 磁带革命节目最精彩的部分：1970年代飞利浦公司发明的盒式磁带，如何成为推翻王朝的武器。流亡巴黎的霍梅尼用录音机录制演讲，磁带在伊朗疯狂复制传播，精准打击三个痛点：贫富差距、民族主义、宗教保守。萨亚指出："巴列维拥有F-14战斗机，霍梅尼只有盒式磁带。最后，磁带赢了。"这对今天的社交媒体时代意义深远。### [45:00-48:00] 悲剧的轮回1979年1月16日，巴列维仓皇出逃。2月1日，霍梅尼回国。一年之内，伊朗从开放富裕的王国变成黑袍笼罩的神权国家。王室的悲剧令人唏嘘：1980年国王病逝埃及，2001年小公主自杀，2011年小王子自杀。法拉赫在回忆录中写道："我不是王后，我是一个寡妇。"66岁的小巴列维今天仍在YouTube上呼吁建立民主伊朗，承诺由人民公投决定未来。但萨亚尖锐指出："他太理性了。伊朗人民此刻需要的不是理性，而是激情。"---## 核心观点1. **小国的站队困境**：内政再好，站错队就会一夜归零2. **技术改变历史**：磁带推翻王朝，如同今天的社交媒体3. **民主需要培养**：台湾、韩国用了40年，两代人4. **改名的讽刺**：为证明高贵改名"伊朗"，反而保护了"波斯"的美名5. **中国的镜像**：伊朗历史为中国提供深刻警示---## 金句摘录> "历史不会重复，但总是押韵。"> "1975年，德黑兰女大学生穿比基尼。1980年，她们必须穿黑袍。5年，从天堂到地狱。"> "波斯是骄傲，伊朗是耻辱。"-参考 历史文献1.

Calling the Islamic Republic a “cancer” and a “totalitarian nightmare,” Milani insists Iran’s resilience points to a brighter future as people have woken from that nightmare. “Iranian society is more represented by intellectuals who used to be religious and now go and kiss the feet of a Baha’i and say, I’m sorry for everything we have done to you,” Milani said. “That’s the future of Iran.

گزیده پادکست فارسی | Persian Podcast Selection۵۸- گفتگوی علیرضا میبدی با عباس میلانی با موضوع: روشنفکران غارنشینگفتگوی علیرضا میبدی با عباس میلانی با موضوع: روشنفکران غارنشین
ABBAS MILANI, ALIREZA MEYBODI, PARS TV, YARAN, 17 SEPTEMBER 2021
عباس میلانی: جامعه روشنفکری ایران زمانی تصمیم گرفت که فقط مخالفان شاه را راشنفکر بداند. جلال آل احمد جایی ذکر میکند که کتاب فریدون هویدا جای نقد ندارد زیرا برادر او نخستوزیر است! این در حالی است که فریدون هویدا یکی از برجستهترین روشنفکران نه فقط ایران، بلکه اروپا بود. فریدون هویدا بنیانگذار و نویسنده مجله کایه دو سینما بود که مطمئنم جلال آل احمد حتی نمیتوانست مطالب آن را از رو بخواند. بهرحال، اما روشنفکران واقعی ایران امثال قزوینی، فروغی، تقیزاده، هویدا، تیمورتاش، داور و... بودند.
عباس میلانی: من از مخالف امپریالیسم هستم بدین دلیل که منافع ایران را تابع منافع غرب خواهد کرد و جلوی رشد ایران را خواهد گرفت. اکنون در داخل ایران رژیمی داریم که ایران را در مسیر اهداف و برنامههای امپریالیسم (نظیر جلوگیری از رشد صنعت و دانش بومی) هدایت میکند. حکومت جمهوری اسلامی در ایران بیشترین ویرانی را با فرار مغزها و سرمایهها انجام داده است. هدف این رژیم بردن ایران به قرون وسطی است.
عباس ملکزاده میلانی مورخ، ایرانشناس، پژوهشگر و نویسنده ایرانی ساکن آمریکا است. میلانی مدیر برنامه مطالعات ایرانی در دانشگاه استنفورد و استاد فراخوانده دانشکده علوم سیاسی آن دانشگاه است.
علیرضا میبدی شاعر، ترانهسرا، مجری و برنامهساز رادیو و تلویزیون ساکن لسآنجلس است. او کتابی از مجموعه سرودههای خود به نام «زیر چراغ ماه» منتشر کردهاست. میبدی برنامه «یاران» را برای تلویزیون ملی ایران (NITV)، تلویزیون پارس و رادیوی صدای ایران ساخته است که در آن درباره موضوعات و مسائل سیاسی بحث و گفتوگو میکند.

Open to Debate#178 - Does Maximum Pressure Against Iran Work?The targeted killing of General Qassim Suleimani sent shockwaves around the world and sparked staunch debate about the Trump administration's "maximum pressure" campaign. Supporters argue that this strategy, which includes leaving the JCPOA and imposing harsh economic sanctions, will safeguard American interests, quell Tehran's human rights abuses, and halt the state's support of terrorist networks. But opponents see "maximum pressure" as dangerously misguided. They argue that abandoning the hard-fought JCPOA and undermining the Iranian economy has promoted violence, isolated allies, and fueled anti-American sentiment.

Seventy percent of the country’s citizens are younger than thirty-five years old, yet their political fate is in the hands of a cadre of septuagenarian-and-older religious leaders. The country’s leaders, Milani jokes, were already old men when he was jailed with them as a political prisoner in the 1970s. Four decades later, he maintains, they are finally losing their grip on power.

Hoover InstitutionAbbas Milani: ISIS, Iran, and Saudi ArabiaAccording to Abbas Milani, crafting cohesive policy to deal with instability and threats in the Middle East requires understanding the ideological, social, and regime-based catalysts of unrest. He explains the return of puritanical Islamist ideology as a reaction to the stagnation of Islamic societies relative to their western counterparts. This trend is not new, but such factors as oil wealth, social media, and communications technology have given it unprecedented strength. Milani stresses that this movement is approaching a dangerous crisis point, one that that, unfortunately, policy makers in the west are failing to adequately address.
