Roqe Ep. 437 - IRAN RISES - The Lion & Sun Revolution: Stalled or Still Alive? As the movement against the Islamic Republic enters a more uncertain and psychologically complicated phase, many Iranians are asking a difficult question: has the revolutionary momentum toward regime change stalled… or is this simply the messy middle chapter that revolutions often pass through before change arrives? Jian Ghomeshi opens the episode with a poetic essay entitled “We Know Who They Are” - reflecting on why millions of Iranians refuse to normalize or rehabilitate the Islamic Republic after decades of executions, repression, censorship, corruption, and violence. Then, a thoughtful and passionate panel discussion with: Bijan Kian - former U.S. senior official and Iranian-American political and business strategist - joining us from Los Angeles Pantea Modiri - journalist, documentary filmmaker, and former television host - joining us from London Together, they explore morale, media narratives, psychological fatigue, propaganda, leadership, and whether supporters of the Lion & Sun Revolution should feel discouraged right now.
