About this listen

In this powerful episode, we examine Iran’s descent from monarchy to theocracy—and its rise as a global sponsor of terror and proxy warfare. With the recent U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities marking a historic escalation, we trace the regime’s path over the past five decades: the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the bloody Iran-Iraq War, the creation of the IRGC and Quds Force, and the development of a hardened network of proxies stretching from Lebanon to Yemen.
