I just sat down with one of the highest ranking former insiders of the Islamic Republic, Mehdi Nasiri. From 1990 to 1994, he was Ali Khamenei's direct representative and ran the regime's most important publishing arm. Very few people on earth have sat face to face with Mojtaba Khamenei. Mehdi Nasiri is one of them, and his warning to the world is urgent. Nasiri exposes the terrifying reality of an isolated, incompetent leadership that is driven by a radical, imported ideology. He breaks down exactly how the men running the Islamic Republic justify their grip on power and why their willingness to burn the world down to stay in control is not a bluff.
