In November 1943, Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill met for the first time in Tehran, Iran, to coordinate strategy against Nazi Germany. This episode dives into the behind-the-scenes maneuvering: Stalin's demands for a second front, Churchill's resistance, and the secret deals that shaped the postwar world. We explore the Soviet security apparatus at the conference, the assassination plot that never was, and how Stalin used the summit to cement his role as an equal among the Allies. Along the way, we meet key figures like Vyacheslav Molotov, Averell Harriman, and the Persian Corridor that kept the Red Army supplied. A story of diplomacy, suspicion, and the fragile alliance that won the war but sowed the seeds of the Cold War.
