327) Younes Sadaghiani - What The Left Don't Want You To Know About Radical Islam

Today’s conversation is with Younes Sadaghiani.

Younes studied politics at university having left Iran during the 2000s as it degenerated under the Islamic Republic. He has become a prominent voice online for his commentary on Iran, Islam, and UK politics. In this episode we unpack his personal journey, the realities of life under the Islamic Republic, and the broader challenges facing both the Middle East and the West.

Expect to learn:

• Why Younes chose to put his head above the parapet online and speak out on big issues
• The history of the Islamic Republic in Iran and what life looks like for the 60% of Iranians who aren’t Muslim
• The challenges of Radical and Fundamentalist Islam, and how that shapes geopolitics
• What Younes believes the political left misunderstands about Islam
• Why a country so rich in natural resources still leaves its citizens without basic utilities
• How Iran’s financial support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis fuels instability in the Middle East
• The hard realities about Israel versus Hamas that often get lost in debate
• Younes’ biggest mindset shifts in the last five years, and his evolving relationship with faith and spirituality
• What he learned helping craft the Reform Party’s communication strategy during the 2024 UK election
• The significance of 40,000 names on the UK’s terror watch list, and what politicians should do to secure the country’s future
• Why he believes this conversation is just the beginning, with a follow-up episode needed on spirituality, wellness, and the future of the UK

This episode is a deep dive into a topic many have been scared to address. Younes brings articulate insights and I know you’re going to learn a lot during this 55 minute episode.
