A viral photo. A war that's killed a head of state. A regime that has oppressed its own people for almost five decades. Niaz refuses to pick a side and argues that this refusal is the point. This episode breaks down what's really happened in the war on Iran this year, argues that opposing the war and condemning the regime aren't contradictory positions, and explains why she believes both the U.S./Israel and Iran's government have blood on their hands. Drawing on her own childhood in Iran and years of human rights work, she makes the case for centering the Iranian people themselves, not either side's political narrative.
