Most people assume Iran and the Iranian regime are the same thing.
According to Iranian-American commentator Elica Le Bon, that assumption is one of the biggest misunderstandings in geopolitics today.
In this powerful moment from the Call Me Back Podcast with Dan Senor, Elica explains why many Iranians view the Islamic regime as an occupying force that does not represent their culture, history, or values.
She breaks down:
• Why the Iranian people and the regime are fundamentally different
• How the 1979 Islamic Revolution reshaped a 7,000-year-old civilization
• Why the regime places Israel at the center of its ideology
• How the regime exports its revolution across the Middle East
• Why Western narratives often misunderstand the Iranian people
Understanding this distinction is critical to understanding the future of Iran, Israel, and the Middle East.
