What Comes After Iran's Regime? Zolal Habibi on the NCRI, Pahlavi & a Democratic Future for Iran

What happens if Iran's current regime falls — and who gets to decide what comes next?Iranian human rights activist Zolal Habibi joins me to discuss her remarkable personal story, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), Reza Pahlavi — son and grandson of Iran's last two shahs and a would-be shah himself — and competing visions for Iran's political future.We explore a question that's easy to ask but much harder to answer: How can Iranians — and outsiders like me — determine which path offers the best chance of producing a genuine liberal democracy?We also discuss the difficulty of knowing what Iranians actually want, competing polling and evidence, the NCRI's proposed transition to democratic elections, the role of the United States, and a crucial democratic test: If free elections produced an outcome the NCRI strongly opposed, would it accept the result?For more information on the Iranian resistance: https://www.ncr-iran.org/en/ https://oiac.org/ https://www.maryam-rajavi.com/ Outside the US: https://iranfreedom.org/en/#Iran #NCRI #RezaPahlavi #IranianResistance #Democracy #HumanRights #ZolalHabibi #FeastsOfReason
