E382. Why This Isn't Iraq 2003: The Case for Taking Down Iran's Regime - Behnam Ben Taleblu

Behnam Ben Taleblu joins Bridget to offer his expertise on Iran. They discuss who’s actually in charge in Iran right now, what Americans need to understand about the Islamic Republic’s ideology, why the plight of Iranian women gets ignored by Western feminists, and why this conflict is fundamentally different from Iraq 2003. They cover how the regime destroyed Iran’s environment to fund the Revolutionary Guard, how they worked with Mexican drug cartels and Canadian biker gangs to target dissidents on US soil, how AI-generated propaganda muddies the water in favor of the regime, why Hollywood actors completely miss what’s happening by lumping Iran with Palestine and Iraq, the regime’s scorched earth strategy of burning countries to rubble to survive, Iranian sleeper cells already on US soil, the strategic importance of not giving this regime a premature off-ramp, and why Americans Googling “how far is Iran from the United States” shows how much work remains in explaining the stakes of this conflict. 🎙️ New episodes every week.
