What No One Ever Told You About the History of Iran with

Описание: After 47 years, is a regime change in Iran finally on the horizon? Or are we about to repeat history yet again? As tensions rise and the U.S. and Israel work to counter the Ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions, many Americans know the danger but not the backstory.

In this episode, Frank sits down with historian ‪@BillFederer‬ to explain the "why" behind the war, trace Iran’s journey from ancient Persia to the Islamic Revolution, and uncover the historical forces that shaped today’s Middle East. Tune in as they answer questions like:

-- What happened when Frank traveled to Tehran in 2006?
-- What is the ancient history of Iran (previously known as Persia)?
-- What's the difference between Shia and Sunni Islam?
-- What was the Islamic "Golden Age" and who brought it to an end?
-- How did the collapse of the Ottoman Empire lead to radicalism?
-- What is the chilling origin story of the word "assassin"?
-- How does the Sunni-Shia divide continue to fuel the fires of modern Middle Eastern conflict?
-- What was the real catalyst behind the fall of the Persian Shah and the rise of the current Ayatollah regime?
-- What was Winston Churchill's "hiccup"?
-- What is the Muslim Brotherhood and what role did they play in the history of Iran?

Frank and Bill cover thousands of years of history in less than an hour, but this is only the beginning! Be sure to tune in next week as they continue their discussion on how the Ayatollah took power over Iran in 1979 and what may lie ahead.
