    Is Iran in a post-Khamenei future already | Eye for Iran | Ep 60 |
    Jul 18 2025
    For decades, the Islamic Republic sought to erase Iran’s pre-Islamic identity. Now, it’s embracing it. From Cyrus the Great murals to patriotic songs at Shia ceremonies, Tehran is reviving the very nationalism it once suppressed—and experts tell Eye for Iran this shift could signal more than desperation.

    Could the Islamic Republic's embrace of Persian pride reshape the state—or even lay the groundwork for a post-Islamist Iran?

    Join host Negar Mojtahedi with guests Arash Azizi, Behnam Ben Taleblu, Mehrzad Boroujerdi, and Jonathan Harounoff as they unpack what this ideological reversal reveals for the future of Iran.

    Jul 11 2025
    Trump talks peace, Netanyahu warns of war. But are they really divided?
    Michael Doran, a former White House official and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, joins Eye for Iran with rare insight from inside Blair House, where Israeli and US officials are keeping quiet while strategy is shaped behind closed doors.
    From covert strikes to rhetorical sleight of hand, this episode unpacks the illusion of a rift—and the real red lines both leaders agree on.

    Eye for Iran | Ep 58 | John Bolton: "The surrender of the Ayatollahs"
    Jul 4 2025
    Is this the beginning of the end for Iran’s ruling regime? Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton joins Eye for Iran to unpack Trump’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, the controversial ceasefire, and why he believes now was the time to finish the job.

    Bolton argues the ceasefire was a mistake that gave Iran breathing room just when the Islamic Republic was most vulnerable. He says Trump isn’t driven by strategy but by optics—and that his real motive may be winning a Nobel Peace Prize. Bolton also explains how Iran’s ruling establishment could collapse from within, and why the recent strikes may have set the stage for a wider conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran.

  • Eye for Iran | Ep 57 | Where is the 900 pounds of Iran’s enriched uranium?

    Eye for Iran | Ep 57 | Where is the 900 pounds of Iran’s enriched uranium?
    Jun 27 2025
    The threat of a nuclear Iran remains despite US and Israeli strikes crippling key nuclear sites, Olli Heinonen, the former Deputy Director General of the IAEA, told Eye for Iran.
    Around 400 kilograms—more than 900 pounds—of 60% enriched uranium is unaccounted for. Until the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirms its location, the risk remains high, Heinonen warned, because the material could be further enriched and used to make nuclear weapons.
    “One should not relax because this material as such is enough for 10 nuclear weapons if it is enriched further to 90%,” Heinonen told Eye for Iran. “So in a big picture, yes, Mr. Trump was correct, but it should have had this caveat telling that it's not yet over.”
    From secret sites to suspicious truck movements before the strikes, this episode uncovers the quiet race now underway to verify what Iran may still be hiding.

    Eye for Iran | Ep 55 | ‘Rising Lion’ operation took years to prepare, says Israeli minister
    Jun 14 2025
    Israeli Minister Amichai Chikli tells Eye for Iran that the massive military operation against Iran—code-named “Rising Lion”—was years in the making and is just the beginning.

    “This is the time to seize the moment,” says Chikli, urging Iranians to rise against the Islamic Republic.

    Following Israeli airstrikes that killed top Iranian commanders and hit key nuclear facilities, Iran launched over 200 missiles at Israel. Former British Army officer Maj. Andrew Fox and Middel East expert Dr. Eric Mandel join us to break down the strategy behind the strikes, Trump’s next move, and why Iran is now at its most vulnerable point in 46 years.

    Is this the turning point for the Islamic Republic?
    Will Trump strike Fordow?
    Could diplomacy follow destruction?

  • Eye for Iran | Ep 54 | US should help Syria curb Iran influence, Rep. Mills says

    Eye for Iran | Ep 54 | US should help Syria curb Iran influence, Rep. Mills says
    Jun 6 2025
    In this exclusive episode of Eye for Iran, Congressman Cory Mills reveals what he learned during his high-stakes trip to Damascus—becoming the first US lawmaker to meet Syria’s new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, since the fall of Bashar al-Assad.

    Mills says Syria’s new leadership is moving fast to dismantle Iran’s regional grip—expelling proxy militias, restricting Hezbollah arms routes, and seeking diplomatic ties with countries like Israel. He warns that if the US fails to engage now—through reconstruction, diplomacy, and infrastructure support—Russia, China, and Iran will fill the void.

    From explosive claims about Iranian-built telecom surveillance to a reported ISIS assassination plot targeting him, Mills shares stunning details you won’t hear anywhere else.

    He also reflects on what Syria’s rebirth could mean for Iran’s future—and why Syrians now believe in “Syria for Syrians.”

    Eye for Iran | Ep 53 | Truckers' strike: is it the spark that could shift Iran's future?
    May 30 2025
    Truckers across Iran are refusing to drive—shutting down ports, blocking highways, and squeezing the economy. But this isn’t just about fuel hikes or wages. It’s a nationwide cry for dignity—and it’s gaining traction fast.

    Joining host Negar Mojtahedi on Eye for Iran is Nazanin Afshin-Jam, a prominent human rights activist; Alireza Nader, an Iran analyst and former senior researcher at the RAND Corporation; and Mahdi Ghodsi, an economist with the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies.

    Together, they unpack why this strike feels different from previous unrest, how it exposes the vulnerabilities of Iran’s leadership, and whether international actors—from Washington to the diaspora—will respond.

    Is this the spark that could shift Iran’s future?

    Watch now to understand the growing movement—and what could come next.
