Iranian author-activist Armin Navabi (founder of Atheist Republic) joins Emily Schrader for a blunt, unfiltered breakdown of why this uprising feels like Iran’s point of no return and why the regime’s brutality may be backfiring into something even bigger: a mass rejection not just of the Islamic Republic, but of religious rule itself. You’ll learn what’s different this time (a unifying alternative and a clear end-state), how the regime weaponizes “foreign interference” while importing foreign proxies to kill Iranians, why Western “silence” matters on the ground and how Tehran’s information war scrambles public understanding at the very moment the regime is most vulnerable. The bottom line: this isn’t framed as charity for Iranians, it’s pitched as a strategic turning point for the region, with Israel and Iran potentially flipping from enemies to allies when the dust settles.
