Did Washington Sufficiently Support Iran’s Revolutionaries? with Jason Brodsky

When large-scale demonstrations erupted in Iran last September, calls demanded the end of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Protests continued for months but have now largely subsided. The U.S. government responded by expanding internet access and adding new sanctions on the regime. Was this enough or did the Biden administration miss the moment to bring down the mullahs? What lessons should be learned for future Iranian uprisings? Jason M. Brodsky is policy director of United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) and a non-resident scholar at the Middle East Institute. He holds a B.A. from Brandeis University, a J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law, and an LL.M. from the Georgetown University Law Center.
