As the Iran War gets hot once again, the coverage is all Trump, Bibi, the IRGC, etc..

We wanted to focus on the perspective of the Iranian people - stuck between foreign bombs and a regime that was slaughtering them months ago.

In the new episode of the Tallinn University Podcast, Terry McDonald interviews Iranian activist and TLU researcher Mal Keshmiri about what’s happening in Iranian society. Her insight is an incredible look at the real death toll, the runaway inflation, and the armed groups inside Iran ready to stand up to a failing regime.
