Is the Islamic Republic of Iran Tightening Its Grip or Showing Strain?

The latest episode of Chain Reaction from Foreign Policy Research Institute asks the question everyone is dancing around: What comes next for Iran? 

Protests have shaken cities across the country. The regime has responded with force, and reports of hundreds killed have raised questions about the future of Iran and the whole region. 

Host Aaron Stein speaks with our colleague Hamed Behravan, Vice President at DT Institute and Director of the Iran program, alongside Saeid Golkar, Iranian-American political scientist and UC Foundation Associate Professor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Together, they reflect what power, legitimacy, and regime change truly mean right now. 

This episode is part of a collaboration between the Foreign Policy Research Institute and DT Institute about the future of governance in the Middle East.
