Five months of anti-regime protests in Iran amount to a monumental clash between the dictatorship and the people. That’s because, unlike previous uprisings in the Islamic Republic, which focused on specific grievances the regime could fix, demonstrators this time appear totally to reject the system in which they live. How much have the protests diminished the regime’s base? Will they win changes? What must happen for a revolution to occur?

Iran's Counter-revolution? with Amir Taheri

Kaveh Madani

A special edition of Roqe focusing on the environmental crisis in the Khuzestan region of Iran, and the bloody crackdown on those raising their voices for the basic human needs of clean water. Jian is joined by scientist and writer, Kaveh Madani, who was prophetic in coining the term “water bankruptcy” in regards to Iran long before the latest crisis. He discusses the roots of the mismanagement of water distribution in Iran, environmental justice, and the paradox of deprivation and underdevelopment in oil-rich Khuzestan. Then Ahvaz-born journalist and former Editor-in-Chief of Kayhan newspaper (1972-1979) Amir Taheri joins Jian from Paris to discuss the pattern of brutal clampdown in Khuzestan and across Iran on those protesting the current regime, and the elements of a failed state.
