In this episode, Iran expert Trita Parsi walks through the entire Iranian Revolution, explaining how it actually unfolded — not as a single uprising, but as a complex transfer of power shaped by alliances, ideology, and foreign pressure.

He breaks down how Ayatollah Khomeini rose through the clerical ranks, why leftists and secular groups initially supported him, and how those alliances collapsed once the Shah was removed. Rather than chaos alone, the revolution followed a pattern seen across history: temporary coalitions, consolidation of power, and the narrowing of political space once control was secured.

The conversation covers:

Why the Shah fell — and why few expected what followed

How religious scholars became political rulers

When and why revolutionary allies turned on each other

How foreign influence and Cold War politics shaped outcomes

Why the revolution still defines Iran’s internal and regional behavior today

This is not a surface-level recap.
It’s a full historical explanation of how Iran transformed — and why misunderstanding this moment continues to distort modern Iran policy.
