About this episode

In the latest episode of Iran Briefing, Farzan Sabet and Matthew Kaminski examine whether Tehran really wants the war to end, how the IRGC and hardliners emerged more entrenched despite major leadership losses, and why the conflict’s lasting legacy may be a reshaped regional map rather than regime change.
