This episode is audio from a talk titled "The Long War on Iran", which features Behrooz Ghamari in conversation with Narges Bajoghli. Ghamari’s recent book of the same name draws on two decades of political analysis to explore the history of US intervention in the region, focusing on the enduring sanctions imposed on Iran and the persistent perception of the Islamic Republic as a major obstacle to American power. By challenging the conventional image of Iran as a totalitarian regime, Ghamari urges readers to appreciate the country’s diverse society and complex political landscape. Narges Bajoghli is a scholar, award-winning author, and public intellectual exploring the intersections of media, power, and resistance in global politics. The event was sponsored by OR Books, and took place at the Francis Kite Club in New York City on March 4th, 2026.

Iran is the victim of an unprovoked attack by two nuclear armed states, the US and Israel. Under the UN Charter and international law, the Islamic Republic is exercising its right to self-defence.

ASHA stands for accredited social health activists. They are part of a government of India scheme to provide health services at the village level. Originally volunteers, the women promote public health in the villages, especially children's and women's health. India's central government pays states to give an incentive, and state governments decide on additional honoraria. Since the scheme took off in 2008, the state of Kerala made very little increase in incentives but added huge increases in work load and rules. In 2025, ASHA workers in Kerala led a protracted strike for better pay, retirement benefits, and working conditions. The state government disrespected them and even concealed national increase in benefits. Public widely supported the strike. Smail gain won so far. Election in April.
