As you may be aware, there is an uprising across Iran, and
the government has lost the bazaars due to economic collapse. The Bazaars are the middle class shops, and their owners an important demographic in a country like Iran. The last time this happened, the Shah fled and regime we see today
took power.
Joining me is Scott Anderson, the author of King of Kings,
as we discuss the revolution, its participants, the US administration’s
involvement, the Shah and where we see the future, though with the strong caveat that this discussion took place before the current demonstrations.
