    Roqe Ep.422 - IRAN RISES - The Mullahs Are Not Winning - Bozorgmehr Sharafedin
    Mar 9 2026
    On this episode of Roqe, Jian Ghomeshi speaks with Iranian-British journalist Bozorgmehr Sharafedin, head of digital news at Iran International. Joining Jian from Washington, Sharafedin discusses the rapidly unfolding situation surrounding Iran as the conflict enters its ninth day and global commentary intensifies. Their conversation explores: the emergence of Mojtaba Khamenei as Supreme Leader whether Western media narratives are misreading events inside Iran why many Iranians have not taken to the streets while bombs are falling the potential impact of targeted strikes against IRGC infrastructure and the possibility that the regime - or some version of it - could survive the current crisis. Jian also opens the episode with an essay titled “Dear Western Left - Mullahs Are Not Your Friends,” challenging the tendency in some Western political circles to romanticize the Islamic Republic as a form of anti-imperialist resistance.

    Roqe Ep.421 - IRAN RISES - Will U.S. Intervention Bring Change? - Ari Aramesh
    Mar 6 2026
    On this episode of Roqe, Jian opens with an essay about the brave Iranians who took to the streets in recent weeks demanding regime change - and the promise many in the diaspora made to stand with them. As war imagery dominates the headlines and debates grow louder around intervention, Jian reminds listeners that history is rarely tidy - and that the courage of those inside Iran should remain at the center of the conversation. Jian then speaks with Iranian-American lawyer and commentator Ari Aramesh, joining from Washington D.C. As U.S. military action against the Islamic Republic intensifies, the discussion focuses on a central question - will intervention actually bring change to Iran? Or could it entrench the regime further? They discuss the legality of the intervention, political reactions inside the United States, and whether weakening the regime’s military capabilities could create the conditions for Iranians inside the country to rise again. Guest: Ari Aramesh - managing attorney at Whitcomb Selinsky and frequent commentator on CNN, BBC, Fox News and Al Jazeera English. Episode 421 of Roqe - part of the Iran Risesseries.
