A one-hour news-analytical program that presents a clear and simple picture of complex world events. Bashar al-Assad's escape from Syria is considered a major setback for the Iranian government's regional policy. The heavy losses suffered by Hamas, Hezbollah, and the former Syrian government have put Iran in a difficult position. Now, in an attempt to reassure his supporters, Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has recalled the Battle of Uhud in the Islamic calendar. The war in which the Prophet Muhammad was injured, one of his most famous generals was killed, and Muslims as a whole were defeated. Although Ayatollah Khamenei has not accepted defeat, he has implicitly stated that there are those in the United States who are committed to changing the regime in Iran and, as he put it, have smelled the kebab. In addition to the fact that the political and military makeup of the Middle East has undergone fundamental changes to the detriment of the Iranian government in the past year, domestic dissatisfaction has increased in Iran. The shadow of a new wave of maximum pressure from the United States with the return of Donald Trump to the White House has also intensified domestic despair. This situation has raised more questions in Iranian society than ever before. Will a combination of international, regional, and domestic pressures break the back of the Islamic Republic? With the fall of the government, is Iran's future hopeful or bleak? Is there still time for the government to return?
