What keeps Iran’s regime in power—and why has it survived repeated crises, protests, and international pressure?
In this episode of The Next Best, Marcel Dirsus sits down with Yeganeh Torbati (New York Times Iran correspondent) and Bozorgmehr Sharafedin (Iran International) for a deep dive into how Iran’s political system actually works.
We discuss the 1979 Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini’s rise, the Supreme Leader’s power, the Revolutionary Guards’ influence, reform movements, protests, war, succession politics, and what might come next for Iran. If you want to understand the structure behind one of the world’s most consequential political systems, this conversation is for you.
