Intro

45 years ago this month, followers of the Ayatollah Khomeini seized the American embassy in Tehran and held 52 Americans hostage. Last weekend, regime supporters in Tehran celebrated that blatant violation of the most basic international law by rallying outside what used to be the embassy building. 

Over the decades since, the threats posed by the regime that came to power, the misleadingly named Islamic Republic of Iran, have not diminished.

Host Cliff May asks Ilan Berman, vice president of the American Foreign Policy Council and author of a new “special report” entitled: Navigating the Iranian Opposition: A National Security Briefing for the United States.
