Iran's Civilizational Resilience and Geopolitics | Col. Mayank Chaubey | Vikas Joshi |

Описание: Colonel Mayank Chaubey in conversation with Vikas Joshi, reveals the strategic complexities of Iran's geopolitical position amid internal upheaval and external pressures. Discover Iran's 6000-year civilizational legacy from Mesopotamia, the ethnic fragmentation threatening national unity, and IRGC defections signaling regime vulnerability. Colonel Chaubey, a veteran Indian Army strategist, exposes the delicate balance between US sanctions, China's oil dependency, and India's Chabahar corridor ambitions while revealing how military-industrial interests perpetuate regional instability.

Key Points:
• Mesopotamian civilization's foundational contributions to law, writing, and astronomy
• Iran's ethnic composition: 60% non-Persian minorities
• IRGC officers defecting and refusing regime orders during ongoing protests
• Nuclear facilities at Fordow and Natanz: enriched uranium capabilities
• Chabahar port's critical role in India-Russia INSTC corridor bypassing Pakistan
• Middle Eastern power dynamics and India's strategic positioning
