Peace For Asia Podcast

Peace for Asia is a not-for-profit research-based collective primarily focused on documenting and researching human rights violations taking place all over Asia. We aim to bring a more conscious attempt to how international and intergovernmental proceedings affect those who exist as minorities and stand to be adversely affected by policies and the currencies of a globalized world. Peace for Asia strives to create and disseminate non-partisan and independent research that is intersectional in its approach, cognizant of the nuances that exist in societies and communities as a whole.

Peace for Asia interviews Ms Raghida Dergham, Founder and Executive Chairman, Beirut Institute on the recent developments in Iran. We delve into finer details on myriad themes, mainly the prevailing political situation, Iran’s emerging role in the broader Middle East and its influence on regional and global geopolitical alignments.

The recent elections and the victory of Ebrahim Raisi marks a new phase in Iranian politics, both from the domestic and international perspective. Having won the elections with the blessings of the hardliners, it appears that the reformist perspectives have lost appeal in the high offices. Raisi’s controversial past speaks a lot about his political leanings and thus also about his expected policies.

At present, Iran is embattled on multiple fronts, namely the protests in the Khuzestan region, the uncertainity surrounding the nuclear negotiations and the tense geopolitics in the Middle eastern region, particularly Iraq, Syria and Yemen.
