Donald Trump's long-time aggression against Iran--abrogating the nuclear treaty, assassination officials, ramping up sanctions, and last June's prolonged attacks--is ramping up. So I talked to our good friend and one of the best-respected scholars of the region--Eskandar Sadeghi of the University of St. Andrews--about the current crisis . . . the ongoing brutal impact of sanctions--the inflation, shortages, damage to infrastructure; the harsh repression of the Iranian government; the regional context, especially Israel's aggression; and of course the U.S. threats to attack Iran again.For more information about Eskandar Sadeghi, see his faculty page at: https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/international-relations/people/es404/ -------------------------------------------------🎙️ Follow Green and Red🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast🌐 Website: https://greenandredpodcast.org💬 Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/QYh9SGRd📰 Follow us on Substack: https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com🌌 Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreen...💚 Support the Green and Red Podcast🎉 Become a Patron: / greenredpodcast ☕ One-time donation: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR🌍 Our Networks🎧 Labor Podcast Network: https://www.laborradionetwork.org📢 Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: https://linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodca...📻 Listen on WAMF (90.3 FM) New Orleans: https://wamf.org🎬 A Green and Red Podcast production👨‍🏫 Produced by Bob (@bobbuzzanco) and Scott (@sparki1969)✂️ Edited by Scott🔔 Subscribe for more analysis on U.S. politics, leftist strategy, and anti-establishment resistance.

Each year, police officers kill over 1,000 people they’ve sworn to protect and serve. While some cases, like George Floyd’s and Sandra Bland’s, capture national attention, most victims remain nameless, their stories untold. Professor Terence Keel's new book, "The Coroner’s Silence" reveals a disturbing truth about these cases: coroners and other death investigators are often complicit in obscuring the violent circumstances of in-custody deaths. ​In our latest, we talk with Prof. Keel about the complicity and silence of coroners in the police and in-custody deaths. Bio//Dr. Terence Keel (@TerenceKeel) a professor of human biology, society and African American studies at UCLA.
