United Kingdom19 days ago - Great Interview
Thank you for the interview with Azizi. He provided exactly the type of expert input we so rarely get here in the west, but that we need in order to have a better understanding of the history behind all of the conflicts that have occurred in that part of the world since the regime change of 1979 in Iran.
Keep doing what you do Richard and Yalda, and we will keep listening! Thanks again.
