Israel is days away from its first election since the October 7 attacks. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he would bring down the Islamic Republic if he wins. Is that a policy pledge or election rhetoric? And if he loses, would his rivals pursue a different strategy toward Iran?On this episode of Eye for Iran, host Negar Mojtahedi brings together four experts speaking from Israel: Yaakov Katz, former editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post; Vivian Bercovici, Canada's former ambassador to Israel; Itai Reuveni of NGO Monitor; and Dr. Eric Mandel, founder of the Middle East Political and Information Network.They examine what the election could mean for Israel’s war with Iran and whether regime change is an achievable goal.We also look at armed clashes in Iran’s southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchistan.Rahim Bandoui of the Baluchistan People's Party and human rights advocate Sabah Baloch discuss decades of discrimination and repression, the human cost of the conflict and whether a long-running insurgency could become part of a broader challenge to the Islamic Republic.And finally, a firsthand account from Bahrain. Author and peace activist Fatima Al-Harbi recalls waking to the sound of missiles as Iran attacked her country, and describes how the experience changed her understanding of the Islamic Republic, Iranian-backed militias and the use of religion to justify political violence.Three conversations, one question: with pressure mounting from outside and within, what comes next for Iran’s rulers and ruled?Watch Eye for Iran with Negar Mojtahedi for expert analysis, firsthand accounts and perspectives on the forces shaping Iran's future, or listen on any podcast platform.Chapters:02:34 | Israel's Election: Will Netanyahu finish the job against the Islamic Republic?Guests: Yaakov Katz, Vivian Bercovici, Itai Reuveni and Dr. Eric Mandel30:59 | Baluchistan's armed conflict: Could it threaten the Islamic Republic?Guests: Rahim Bandoui and Sabah Baloch52:51 | Bahrain under attack: A peace activist speaks outGuest: Fatima Al-Harbi#netanyahu #iran #israel #balochistan #bahrain #iranuswar #iranregimechange #islamicrepublic #trump #irannews #middleeast #youtubeshorts #podcast #iranpodcast #iraninternational #eyeforiran Hosted on Acast.
