Verso will be joined by Afshin Matin-Asgari, Golnar Nikpour, Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi, and Ervand Abrahamian for an urgent discussion this Tuesday, March 10, at 1pm EST / 6pm UK.
On February 28, the US and Israel launched unprovoked attacks against the Islamic Republic of Iran, unleashing a war that has rapidly escalated across the region. While Trump and Netanyahu want regime change, the Iranian regime has shown that it will not go down easily. In the face of US imperial aggression, what is the future for Iran?
