What does the United States think it's going to gain from decapitating the Iranian leadership?
Well, that's kind of obvious based on what the president has said. On what the president has said? I'm just saying based on what the president says.
You can't trust anything that you're hearing right now. You can't trust anything that you're reading right now. Too tumultuous. Who do you trust?
You have to trust somebody, right? It's not paranoid. It's healthy. It is absolutely paranoid to suggest that everything is misinformation. Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon, so it's not a nuclear threat.
There is a domino effect that happens with every decision that the United States makes. So...

The algorithm, if you follow a show, will deliver you the best episodes from that show very prominently in your feed. So when we have our best episodes on this show, the most shared episodes, the most rated episodes, I would love you to know. And the simple way for you to know that is to hit that follow button. But also the fact that I think what 41% of you have chosen to follow the show that listen to it regularly is the reason why we've been able to improve everything.

And I would be hugely grateful if you could take a minute on the app you're listening to this on right now and hit that follow button. Thank you so, so, so much. Benjamin, Annie, Andrew. First and foremost, thank you for being here today. I have to start with the question that's been on my mind as somebody that doesn't know a huge amount about geopolitics, which is, what the hell is going on? And I say that because that's exactly what I mean. What is going on and what context do I need to understand this sort of historical context of the actions we're seeing in Iran with this war right now? Benjamin, what is going on? I know you've got a personal connection to Iran because your family fled Iran, I believe.
Yeah, I was two years old when we left in March of 1979, a few months after the Shah had left and just after Khomeini had arrived.
What is the Shah and what is...
Yeah, sorry. The Shah, the former monarch of Iran, the Pahlavi dynasty, which came into power in the 1930s, deposing a previous dynasty that had been around for a couple hundred years. And his father brought in that dynasty, and then it was eventually – he was deposed by the British and the Americans who felt he was getting too close to the Nazis during World War II, concerned about supply routes for the Nazis, oil. And his son was installed on the throne at a very young age, I believe 18 or 19. And he ruled Iran from that period, 1941, 1942, around that time, all the way through 79. A great ally of the United States over time eventually, and was overthrown in a revolution. And by Khomeini, who was a senior cleric who had been a thorn in the Shah's side since the 60s, was exiled first to Turkey, then Iraq, then ultimately to France, right outside Paris, actually.
