Inside Iran's 2026 Protests: Pahlavi, Khamenei, and the Fight for Freedom
In this episode of The MiddleGround Mic, we examine the escalating Iran uprising in January 2026—protests against economic collapse, Khamenei, and the Islamic Republic, with widespread calls for Reza Pahlavi's return and a secular future.
Featuring powerful clips from activist Goldie Ghamari's interviews (TalkTV, Glenn Beck, IRAN 101), we cover: regime illegitimacy, historical regression since 1979, human rights abuses, Pahlavi's unifying role, Trump/international signals, and risks of chaos vs. reform paths.
Is this the final battle for regime change, or can pressure lead to concessions? We seek middle ground amid the fury and hope.
