  • Remembering 2022: Iran’s Gen Z Army and Hashtag Wars
    Jan 16 2026

    Back in 2022, protests in Iran were bolder than at any time since the 1979 revolution — and that time, it was teenage girls leading the way. Gen Z used their TikTok and Instagram skills to draw the world’s attention to their demand for freedom. But with almost 300 hashtags under #MahsaAmini, their movement was also being co‑opted for others’ purposes. How could anyone tell which was which?

    This is a story from the archives. It originally aired on October 19, 2022. None of the dates, titles or other references from that time has been changed.

    Jan 15 2026

    US President Donald Trump says removing President Nicolas Maduro is about reclaiming Venezuela’s oil. But as Washington pushes for access, major oil companies are hesitating.
