In the first episode of Empire Explained, Ahmed Ghoneim decolonises the headlines by deep-diving into the long and often forgotten history of US interventionism in Iran — from propping up the Shah Pahlavi, to supporting a coup against democratically-elected leftist leader Mossadegh after he nationalised the country’s oil, to today’s defiant Islamic government that has built a formidable axis of resistance to challenge imperialism in the West Asia region. The message is simple: to have sovereignty in the age of US empire, you must earn it. And to understand the present, you must decolonise the past.
