"Despite the intensity of the US-Israel bombing campaign, Iran?s regime,
now under a new supreme leader, hasn?t given President Donald Trump the
'unconditional surrender' he?s seeking.

Mishal Husain speaks with Vali Nasr, a professor at Johns Hopkins
University?s School of Advanced International Studies and a preeminent
scholar on the Islamic Republic. His life has been shaped by the story of
Iran over the last 50 years, starting when his family fled amid the 1979
revolution. His life?s work has been to study the region and its
relationship with the US. He?s also worked as an adviser to the US State
Department during the Obama administration. Nasr explains why Tehran
believes time is on its side in the war, and that a prolonged conflict may
only strengthen Iranian nationalism."

How are false narratives around religious conversions by Christians used to
fuel hostility and justify violence? Why are such attacks on the community
increasing around the country?

These are some of the questions that activist and writer Harsh Mander
discusses in the latest episode of our series on the State of the Republic.

John Dayal, a veteran journalist and long-time human rights advocate,
shares insights from decades of documenting minority rights issues.
Minakshi Singh, a social activist, speaks about discrimination faced by
Christian communities and the urgent need for accountability and protection.

The speakers also reflect on the broader climate of intolerance and the
challenges faced by minority communities.
