The History and Impact of Sanctions on Iran w/ Muhammad Sahimi [REMASTERED]

This remastered episode of Guerrilla History was a continuation of our Sanctions As War miniseries.  In this fascinating episode, we had a discussion with Professor Muhammad Sahimi on the history and the impacts of sanctions on Iran, which is both an immensely enlightening and heartbreaking conversation.  This episode is particularly timely given the current situation in Iran.  Be sure to also stay turned for our analysis on the situation in Iran, coming soon! Muhammad Sahimi is a Professor at the University of Southern California, where he analyses Iran’s political development, its nuclear program, and its foreign policy. From 2008 to 2012 he was the lead political analyst at Frontline/Tehran Bureau website.
