About The Iran Breakdown with Mark Dubowitz
Welcome to The Iran Breakdown. Hosted by Mark Dubowitz, this show from FDD is here to guide you through one of the most critical geopolitical and human rights challenges facing the world today. The Islamic Republic of Iran has been a central player in global headlines for decades: its pursuit of nuclear weapons, development of a massive missile and drove arsenal, funding of terror groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and others; its oppression of the Iranian people; and its growing alliances with global power states like China, Russia, and North Korea. But beneath the headlines lies a deeper story: a regime that is losing legitimacy, battered nuclear and missile programs, a crumbling economy, a restless population hungry for freedom, and a global community with many conflicting ideas about how to respond. But a regime still standing and dangerous. And that’s what we’ll cover on The Iran Breakdown.
