61. The US and Israel Will not Save Iran with Sahar Delijani

We are joined today by award-winning Iranian author Sahar Delijani. Sahar was born in the notorious Evin prison. A prison in Iran which has become synonymous with political oppression. Her debut novel, Children of the Jacaranda Tree, is partially inspired by her own family history, and recounts one of the bloodiest and most repressive phases of Iranian history: the mass executions in 1988.


The most recent wave of protests in Iran last month were met with violent repression not seen since the days of 1988. Thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of Iranians have been killed by the Islamic Republic regime. In recent days, protests have resurfaced and there is once again rumours of possible American military intervention.


Sahar was kind enough to speak to us, I interviewed her last week, about the nature of the protests, what it means that the US and Israel support them, and why so many Iranians support the seemingly incompetent son of a king who hasn’t been to the country in decades?
