Скачать или смотреть What’s Really Happening in Iran Right Now?

For over a century, Iran has stood at the crossroads of empire, revolution, and resistance. From the fall of the Shah to the rise of the Islamic Republic, Iran's history is a saga of foreign interference, internal upheaval, and relentless pursuit of independence. This video traces the country's complex journey from monarchy to the modern geopolitical flashpoint it is today.
We cover the 1953 CIA-backed coup, the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the brutal Iran-Iraq War, and Iran's long-standing tensions with the West—particularly over its nuclear ambitions. Along the way, you'll see how shifting leadership, regional proxy wars, and sanctions shaped Iran’s current stance on sovereignty and deterrence.
That history set the stage for what happened in June 2025: a bold and controversial U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. We end with a breakdown of the operation and ask—has history brought us full circle? Watch to understand how the past informs the crisis unfolding right now.
