If a thuggish regime fell in the forest and the New York Times didn’t report it, did it make a sound? This week Steve Hayward talks with Kelly Jane Torrance of the Weekly Standard about what is going on in Iran, where the Trump Administration’s heavy pressure may be straining the regime to the breaking point. But the mainstream U.S. media seem to be ignoring the tidings of increasing unrest and instability. Kelly Jane keeps close tabs with the Iranian resistance in Europe and the U.S. and is well positioned to fill in the gaps.

Steve & Kelly Jane,
The Iranian regime is close to economic implosion.
Currency Crash: Iran’s Rial Hits Record-Low of 100,000 to the Dollar
If the pressure stays on the regime will fall. Look out for the EU to try to come to the aid of the Mullahs. The protests in Iran are from the ground up. The opposition government that resides mostly in France has a very sophisticated platform that most Westerners should approve of.
Something has got to give.

Jim
Ms. Torrance was very interesting. One is not hearing a lot about what is going on in Iran – even from foreign news sources. I listen to the BBC Radio Hour and France24 but had not heard about the trucker’s strike for instance. I pray they can get a new government but Turkey, Syria, …. does not make me hopeful.
God bless those brave Iranians with the courage to revolt.
I am going to start reading “The Wind In My Hair: My Fight For Freedom in Modern Iran,” by Masih Alinejad.
I wonder if Iran’s Berlin Wall moment will arrive within the next 10 years.
