Why Iran Still Isn’t Free: Struggle, Betrayal & Shattered Dreams

In this powerful episode, Joe and Ethan have an honest and unflinching conversation with Iranian-American activist Zolal Habibi about Iran’s 120-year fight for freedom.
Zolal takes us through the painful history: from the 1953 CIA-backed coup that overthrew Iran’s only democratic government, to the 1979 Revolution that was hijacked, the mass executions, forced hijab, and how foreign powers have repeatedly crushed Iran’s hopes for real democracy.
She explains why women have become the driving force of resistance, the role of the MEK and organized opposition, and why the Iranian people continue to rise despite brutal repression.
