In this ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ interview, Mehdi gets straight down to the facts with one of the top Iranian-affairs experts, Ali Vaez – who serves as the International Crisis Group’s Iran Project Director. Vaez breaks down how the country’s leadership is handling this crisis and why he worries the US and Israel’s war on Iran may bring the country to state collapse.

The conversation is insightful and wide-ranging, with Vaez bringing his expert-level analysis to all the issues coming out of this war, including what would happen if the Trump administration decided to arm Kurdish opposition forces, what we learned from the last time the US overthrew the Iranian government, why Khamenei’s assassination is not enough to take down Iran’s current government, how a deal between Iran and the US would be perceived and ultimately how long Iran can last against the US.
