Who Are The Iranian Opposition?

Siyaset

Iranian politics is, like most political cultures of the Middle East, extremely complex - and so is the image of the Iranian political opposition. For this episode, to explain the basics of two of the most often mentioned Iranian opposition groups in exile, our guests are Matthew Petti - an investigative journalist at The National Interest, as well as Seamus Malekafzali - a journalist and writer. They help explain who the Pahlavis and the MEK are as well as how they are potentially linked to the U.S. State Department.
