From the haunting "amnesia" of Europe regarding the IRGC’s murder of 32,000 citizens in just 36 hours to the tactical reality of what targets remain after the decimation of Iran’s drone and missile power, this conversation moves beyond the headlines to reveal the high-stakes game of regime change, the feasibility of arming internal opposition, and the potential for a secular, democratic future led by Prince Reza Pahlavi. Watch to understand why the fight for the Strait of Hormuz is about more than just oil, it is a battle for the very definition of freedom and the opportunity for a new generation of Iranians to finally break free from 47 years of "mafia-style" rule.

In this urgent episode of Beyond the Summit, host Amir Golshani sits down with veteran diplomat Aaron David Miller, a man who spent 25 years "in the room" serving six U.S. Secretaries of State, to deconstruct the reality of the current naval blockade on Iran.

We dive into the "Trump mindset," the haunting possibility of Iran turning into a "North Korea of the Middle East," and why Washington’s biggest blind spot might be the very people it claims to support.
