The Case for "Regime Change" in Iran: Majid Sadeghpour on why the Current Iranian Theocracy can't be Reformed
In this KEEN ON episode, Andrew talks to Dr Majid Sadeghpour, the political director of the Organization of Iran American Communities (OIAC) , about contemporary Iran and why, in his view, the current Iranian regime isn't reformable.
Dr. Majid Sadeghpour is a human rights activist and the political director for Organization of Iranian-American Communities (OIAC). After the 1979 revolution in Iran, his family was persecuted and his brother ultimately executed. Sadeghpour escaped Iran and has since been an active opponent of the Islamist government in Iran. Mr. Sadeghpour has written extensively on Iran and has appeared in both national and international TV programs. Dr. Sadeghpour is a practicing healthcare professional and lives with his wife and children in Fairfax County, VA.
