Iran, Gaza, and the West: Yassamine Mather on the Politics Nobody Dares to Discuss
🔥 Oxford Academic and Iranian Scholar Yassamine Mather takes us deep into the political, historical, and personal terrain behind today’s Iran. And she does it with a clarity and honesty that’s almost disarming. T:his was one of the most surprising and revealing conversations I’ve recorded this year.
At one point she casually mentions volunteering for a covert mission in Iran—setting up an underground, anti-government radio station for the fedayeen in the mountains between Tehran and Kurdistan. She tells it as if it were nothing. It’s not nothing. It’s the kind of story that stops you in your tracks.
🎓 Based at the University of Oxford, Yassamine brings decades of political analysis, activism, and academic work into the room:
• the inner logic of the Iranian state• the failures and fractures of the opposition
• the West’s selective outrage• the left’s internal contradictions
• why revolutions rarely deliver what people expect
• and how exile shapes a political mind
And beyond the politics, this conversation shows you the person: sharp, thoughtful, funny, and carrying more history than she lets on.
We even walked through Oxford afterwards—her university access opening doors to places you almost never get to see. It adds something intimate to the whole encounter.
