Summary
**We managed to get Navid online for a conversation on the perception of Iranians on this war. This episode is co-published with Kumars Salehi at Delete Ur Account** This week's episode is another collaboration with The Colony Archive and The East is a Podcast . As Roqayah continues to document the resistance to Israel's attempted ethnic cleansing of south Lebanon, Kumars and friend of the show Sina Rahmani reconnected with Navid Zarrinnal in Tehran after two weeks. Navid updates us on the current mood in Iran as US-Israeli bombardment continues, sharing his experiences of the significance of Quds Day and Palestinian liberation to people in Iran, and how Iranians are responding to their country's resilience. The gang also discusses the political divisions within the Iranian establishment, the source of accusations of corruption and economic mismanagement, and what a strategic defeat for the US and Israel means for Iran and the world. Don't miss Navid's urgent reporting and analysis for The Colony Archive on YouTube. Watch the video edition on The East is a Podcast YouTube channel
