In this episode of Hines On Air, Matt Hines sits down with Iranian human rights activist and National Council of Resistance of Iran member Zolal Habibi to discuss one of the most important geopolitical conflicts shaping the world today. Together they explore the reality inside Iran, the future of the Iranian regime, the role of foreign intervention, mass executions, civilian suffering, nuclear negotiations, regional conflict, and what ordinary Iranians actually want.

With decades of experience advocating for democratic change in Iran, Zolal offers her perspective on whether the regime can be overthrown without foreign military intervention, the impact of international sanctions, propaganda, terrorism, and the growing movement inside Iran. The conversation also examines the Iran-Iraq War, Khomeini's legacy, Iran's nuclear ambitions, the role of the United States, Israel, Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the debate surrounding diplomacy versus military action.

Whether you're trying to understand the Iran conflict, Middle East politics, U.S. foreign policy, or the future of the Iranian people, this episode provides an in-depth discussion of one of today's most debated global issues.
