Dr. Kazem Kazerounian is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Connecticut, where he served for a dozen years as Dean of the College of Engineering. He is also a proud Iranian American. He talks about his own perspective of Iranian life under the current regime, and whether the Shah of Iran’s son, Reza Pahlavi, is a viable alternative to govern the nation.
Some international observers think the current government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is in a very vulnerable state after the defeats of Iran’s three proxy groups, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. Weakened in the region, some think regime change may be on the horizon. Is this a real possibility? Who are the important players in this high-stakes drama? Is there a viable alternative to rule Iran if the current regime should fall? Veteran journalist Tim Constantine sits down with a variety of guests in this multi-part series and digs into the political realities of Iran like few Western media outlets ever have.
