Conflicted Revisited... Ayatollah vs. Shah

After our emergency episode on Monday about the extraordinary
events currently taking place in Iran and Israel, we don't want to
leave Conflicted listeners without their Thomas and Aimen fix on a
Wednesday, so this week we're bringing you an old episode of
Conflicted from Season 3, which explains how the modern state of
Iran came into being - the Iranian Revolution of 1979... Find the
episode description is below: It's the Iranian Revolution of 1979 -
the great showdown! The watershed moment when the tensions which
between reform and reaction, modernism and tradition erupted into
sweeping rejection of the Western model of modernity and its
replacement with something apocalyptic, something both ancient and
strikingly new: a Shi’a Islamic Republic. 1979 was out with the
Shah, in with the Ayatollah; and the consequences have been without
parallel—for the Middle East, and the world. All the information
