MBN Iran Podcast Briefing

About MBN Iran Podcast Briefing

The war around Iran is no longer confined to the battlefield—it is rapidly spilling into global markets, energy supplies, and regional stability. In today’s Iran Briefing podcast, three MBN senior voices unpack the latest developments: Iran’s new leadership doubling down on escalation, attacks spreading across the Gulf, and shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz—one of the world’s most critical energy corridors. With tanker traffic collapsing and oil prices surging above $100 amid the conflict, the conversation looks at how this crisis could reshape Gulf economies, global trade, and the geopolitical balance far beyond the region.

   Iran, Repression and Exile: Mehrzad Boroujerdi’s Personal Story

   What does Iran’s history of political repression look like through the eyes of someone whose own family paid a devastating price? On this episode of Iran Briefing, Andres Ilves speaks with Mehrzad Boroujerdi about the latest developments in Iran, repression following the Iranian Revolution, why he left Tehran, and how exile shaped his understanding of his homeland. Boroujerdi also discusses his deeply personal New York Times article, “This Is What My Father’s Assassination Taught Me About the War in Iran,” and reflects on what his father’s killing taught him about violence, politics and Iran’s turbulent history.
