In our third episode on Iran, Sam and Adam discuss the events leading up to and following the 1979 Revolution and how these created the conditions necessary for what is happening today.
This time period saw Iran transform from an ally to the United States and Israel, to part of the "Axis of Evil" described by George W. Bush in 2002.
We look at how a broad coalition of anti-Shah protestors became the Islamic Revolution, and how the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps took total control of the country.
We also look at Irans nuclear ambitions, strategies to disarm the country, and how the current US administration destroyed those agreements, leading them to escalate into the brutal bombardment we see today.
