What are Iranians saying about the possible fall of the regime?
Israel innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum is joined by Emily Schrader (human-rights activist and Iran expert), Shoshana Keats-Jaskoll (founder of Chochmat Nashim) and special guest Matthew Nouriel, an Iranian activist and director of community engagement at JIMENA, to break down the dramatic joint U.S.-Israel aerial missions.
That included a military strike on Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison, long used to silence political dissidents.
As Israel and the United States take direct action against the country’s nuclear facilities and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that helps rule with an iron fist, it gives an unfiltered, insider perspective on what’s unfolding inside Iran. Are we witnessing the beginning of an Iranian freedom movement?
Our panel shares firsthand messages from Iranian citizens on the ground, many of them celebrating the strikes and calling for immediate regime change. The four also tackle the misinformation being spread by mainstream media and the Iranian regime’s cyber army, which seeks to silence the voices of everyday Iranians desperate for liberty.
