Ep. 52 – Life as an Iranian political prisoner - with Professor Kian Tajbakhsh

In the new podcast episode, our Policy Fellow Ellie Guaschi interviewed Professor Kian Tajbakhsh, former political prisoner in Iran released during a prisoner swap under the Obama administration.

He argued that Iran’s ultimate goal is to destroy Israel and establish hegemony in the Middle East.
