The War on Iran

In this urgent and nuanced WMC Talks conversation hosted by Soraya Chemaly, award-winning journalist Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani unpacks the rapidly evolving war on Iran by the United States and Israel, shedding light on how media narratives shift away from human impact toward geopolitics and economics. Drawing on firsthand reporting and deep historical context, she explores the realities facing Iranians on the ground—from communication blackouts to the complexities of public sentiment—while challenging simplified “liberation” narratives. The discussion offers a powerful, human-centered look at war, media, and the global forces shaping both.
