The Adnan Husain Show

Adnan has a fascinating conversation with Dr. Navid Zarrinnal, a historian of modern Iran, who also speaks from first hand experience from inside Iran about current conditions economically and socially, as well as providing keen political and historical analysis of the internal support for Iran's foreign policy and the divisions between elite and Western-oriented "neo-liberal" classes and factions and the majority of average working and middle class people who have suffered most under sanctions. Navid provides insight into the resistance of the Iranian people to empire and their resolve and reframes the question of Iran in close connection to Palestine as a cause of justice. He appeals for us in the "imperial core" to demand justice for Iran and an end to sanctions. No War is not enough!

Exclusive extended conversation w/Huda Ammori, co-founder of Palestine Action, about the recent High Court decision in favor of her suit against the Home Secretary and Starmer government banning Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act of 2000. In addition to analyzing the decision and the political ramifications of this momentous victory—the first time a suit has been successful against the application of the act against a group, Huda related the direct action group's successes against Israeli military corporation, Elbit Systems, and the financial and commercial infrastructure that enables it in the UK. We also discuss the legal battles and success with jury trials as well as repression by the state culminating in the ban. This is an incredibly illuminating conversation about resistance in solidarity with Palestine in the imperial core with a courageous and determined hero (along with her incredible and committed actionists and the movement they have built). Full of insights and inspiration, you want to learn from these experiences. Free Palestine!
