I am the host of a podcast series focusing on the challenges of the West, in the 21st century, from a conservative, classically liberal, and libertarian perspective. We will touch on all current issues while giving emphasis to our lives here in the State of Israel and, more broadly, in the West. Amongst the interviews you will hear from world famous philosophers, intellectuals, government officials, and even ordinary citizens with fascinating stories, from here in Israel and from around the world.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-western-spirit-with-ariel-whitman-5561415"},"episode":{"title":"What Khamenei’s Evil Deeds Did To Iranians - and Why They Will Now DESTROY His Regime! - Sana Ebrahimi","slug":"what-khamenei-s-evil-deeds-did-to-iranians-and-why-they-will-now-destroy-his-regime-sana-ebrahimi","published_at":"2026-03-17T11:51:51+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-western-spirit-with-ariel-whitman-5561415/what-khamenei-s-evil-deeds-did-to-iranians-and-why-they-will-now-destroy-his-regime-sana-ebrahimi","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-western-spirit-with-ariel-whitman-5561415","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/arielwhitman/episodes/What-Khameneis-Evil-Deeds-Did-To-Iranians---and-Why-They-Will-Now-DESTROY-His-Regime----Sana-Ebrahimi-e3gippq","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/a2e2df54/podcast/play/117056762/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-2-17%2F420195247-44100-2-0c8ccba823b33.mp3","summary":"In this explosive conversation, Iranian activist Sana Ebrahimi exposes what most Western media and political activists refuse to confront: the Islamic Republic of Iran is not a misunderstood government — it is an ideological regime willing to sacrifice its own people to survive.Born and raised in Tehran, Sana grew up inside Iran’s education system, where she says she was taught to hate Israel, deny the Holocaust, and see America as the “Great Satan.” Today, she speaks out against the regime — and against what she describes as deep Western misunderstandings about Iran.Note: This conversation was recorded before the current Israel/US–Iran war began. Many of the warnings and analysis discussed here have become even more relevant in light of recent events.In this episode we discuss:• The brutal crackdown on Iranian protesters• Why mass killings inside Iran received little global attention• How Iran funds Hamas, Hezbollah, and regional militias• The regime’s ideological war against Israel and the West• Why many Iranians oppose the Islamic Republic• Soft-power influence and lobbying narratives in Western politics• Sanctions, propaganda, and the reality of life under the regime• Growing up under anti-Israel indoctrination in IranSana argues that many Western activists unknowingly amplify narratives that ultimately benefit the Iranian regime — while the real victims remain the Iranian people themselves.If you want to understand what is really happening inside Iran beyond headlines, slogans, and social media narratives, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.Subscribe to The Western Spirit for long-form conversations on geopolitics, ideology, Israel, democracy, and the future of the West.📌 Watch, share, and join the conversation to uncover what’s really at stake.📌 Suppor…","meta_description":"In this explosive conversation, Iranian activist Sana Ebrahimi exposes what most Western media and political activists refuse to confront: the Islamic Rep…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4024,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-western-spirit-with-ariel-whitman-5561415/episodes/what-khamenei-s-evil-deeds-did-to-iranians-and-why-they-will-now-destroy-his-regime-sana-ebrahimi/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-western-spirit-with-ariel-whitman-5561415/what-khamenei-s-evil-deeds-did-to-iranians-and-why-they-will-now-destroy-his-regime-sana-ebrahimi.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
