On this episode of Roqe, Jian opens with an essay about the brave Iranians who took to the streets in recent weeks demanding regime change - and the promise many in the diaspora made to stand with them. As war imagery dominates the headlines and debates grow louder around intervention, Jian reminds listeners that history is rarely tidy - and that the courage of those inside Iran should remain at the center of the conversation.

Jian then speaks with Iranian-American lawyer and commentator Ari Aramesh, joining from Washington D.C.

As U.S. military action against the Islamic Republic intensifies, the discussion focuses on a central question - will intervention actually bring change to Iran? Or could it entrench the regime further?

They discuss the legality of the intervention, political reactions inside the United States, and whether weakening the regime’s military capabilities could create the conditions for Iranians inside the country to rise again.

Guest: Ari Aramesh - managing attorney at Whitcomb Selinsky and frequent commentator on CNN, BBC, Fox News and Al Jazeera English.
