These are tumultuous times for Iran. The recent death of Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, Iran’s conflict with Israel and involvement in Russian aggression in Ukraine, and the still resonating death of Mahsa Amini all indicate that significant political change could come soon. With a snap presidential election set to take place on 28 June, join Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty for a discussion about what may lie ahead for Iran.
