On this episode of The David Frum Show, The Atlantic’s David Frum
urges an end to wishful thinking about Iran, and a focus instead on
the regime’s threatening words and murderous actions. Then David is
joined by the Carnegie Endowment scholar Karim Sadjadpour for an
urgent conversation about the internal decay of Iran’s theocracy.
They discuss the survival instincts of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei, the regime’s obsession with martyrdom and repression, the
true cost of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear ambitions, and the
disconnect between the revolutionary slogans of the state and the
aspirations of Iranian society. Get more from your favorite
