Iran: Can Economic Pressure Bring Down the Regime?

September 2, 2026 · 53 min

Show notes

Iran is firing missiles across the Middle East, but inside the Islamic Republic, the system may be starting to break. Iran’s president says it may be time to end the war, while the parliament speaker warns the regime cannot survive if its people are hungry. This is happening as Washington’s “Economic D-Day” is tightening the squeeze...but the panel asks whether sanctions can actually topple the regime without empowering the Iranian people themselves. Plus, the panel takes on the Gaza Board of Peace and Hamas disarmament, the growing influence of Qatar in the West and this week’s heroes and scumbags.
