Iran Weekly Wire Podcast

This week on Iran's Weekly Wire, Roland Elliott Brown looks at the growing age gap between the Islamic Republic's founding revolutionaries and Iran's young citizens.

He talks about the cases of young Iranians who have put their lives at stake by challenging the Revolutionary Guards' Internet censorship

He also looks at anxieties among Iran's ageing political elite about who will succeed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei when he dies.

Finally, he compares the Islamic State's destruction of antiquities in northern Iraq to one Iranian cleric's unsuccessful attempt to do the same thing in Iran.
