A proposito di questo titolo
Iran is being squeezed from every direction — economy, sanctions, protests, censorship, and a shrinking regional footprint. But the loudest phrase online right now is “regime change.” Here’s my straight take: Iran isn’t Venezuela, and if it breaks the wrong way, it can spiral into Iraq/Syria-style chaos. In this episode, I break down what’s driving the unrest, why the regime cuts the internet, how divided the country really is, and how the U.S., Russia, and China change the whole calculation.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode
- Why Iran looks weak — but collapse isn’t automatic
- Why the Venezuela comparison misses key realities
- What’s fueling protests: currency collapse, poverty, sanctions
- How the regime responds: censorship + internet/telecom shutdowns
- The split inside Iran: stability/pride vs freedom/control
- My warning: removing leaders can create chaos fast
- The military/nuclear escalation risk
- Iran’s regional footprint shrinking as proxies weaken
- Quick context on 1979 and how the Islamic Republic functions
- The gap between diaspora talk and ground realities
- Why Russia/China don’t want Iran to fall
- What “change” could look like — and why timing is unknowable
