## Resource

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Behnam Ben Taleblu, Iran Program Senior Director and Senior Fellow at FDD, about the war in Iran, the current ceasefire, and how the overthrow of the IRGC may realistically be accomplished to effect regime change and liberate the Iranian people from brutal Islamist repression. It's difficult to say if America is winning this war, but easy to say that we must. Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu seized a moment and cannot let this opportunity to recalibrate the balance of power in the Middle East slip away. Perhaps peace in the Middle East lies on the horizon. Perhaps a whole new era and a new world order. Behnam Ben Taleblu is senior director of The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) Iran Program, where he oversees the breadth and depth of FDD’s work on Iran in addition to serving as a senior fellow specializing in Iranian security and political issues. For well over a decade, Behnam has supported FDD’s Iran program as a senior fellow, research fellow, and senior Iran analyst. Prior to his time at FDD, Behnam worked on non-proliferation issues at an arms control think tank in Washington.
