    Roqe Ep. 450 - IRAN RISES - Bijan Kian, Shahram Kholdi
    2026/07/02
    This episode opens with Jian Ghomeshi's essay, "AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED," a commentary on the Islamic Republic's attempt to sell a narrative of stability and normalcy to the world following the recent conflict, and why history cannot simply be rewritten. Jian is then joined by Dr. Shahram Kholdi, followed by Bijan Kian for an in-depth discussion on where Iran stands today. Has the Islamic Republic successfully shifted the global conversation from vulnerability to stability? Has the MOU changed the way the world views the regime? Why has so much Western coverage embraced a narrative of normalcy? And what does the reaction to Team Melli reveal about the growing gap between how Iran is perceived abroad and how many Iranians experience it? Guests: • Dr. Shahram Kholdi - Historian and Political Analyst • Bijan Kian - Iranian-American business leader, former senior U.S. government official and longtime Republican strategist Sponsored by: • Avoca Chocolates Also in this episode: • Roqe Live 6 returns on Saturday, July 18th at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts featuring Shahram Shabpareh, Tina Parsa, Shally Zomorodi, Mahta Gharaei, Dariush Azar and Pegah Ganji.

  • Roqe Ep. 451 - The Funeral as a Weapon - Bozorgmehr Sharafedin

    Roqe Ep. 451 - The Funeral as a Weapon - Bozorgmehr Sharafedin
    2026/07/06
    A new edition of Roqe featuring Jian’s opening essay, “The Funeral as a Weapon,” and a feature interview with Iranian-British journalist and documentary filmmaker Bozorgmehr Sharafedin. As the Islamic Republic stages the public funeral spectacle for former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Jian asks what the world is really watching: grief, propaganda, coercion, political theatre - or all of the above? Bozorgmehr joins from Washington, DC, to discuss the regime’s claims of “millions” in the streets, what journalists can and cannot verify, how state funerals function as propaganda, and what this moment reveals about succession, legitimacy, and the fragility of power in Iran. Plus: Roqe Live 6 is coming July 18th to the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts.

  • Roqe Ep. 452 - Should Canada Return to Tehran? - Avideh Motmaenfar, Ardershir Zarezadeh

    Roqe Ep. 452 - Should Canada Return to Tehran? - Avideh Motmaenfar, Ardershir Zarezadeh
    2026/07/13
    Should Canada reopen its embassy in Tehran? Prime Minister Mark Carney has reignited a debate that many believed ended when Canada closed its embassy in Tehran in 2012. In the opening essay, Jian asks: "Reopening the Canadian embassy in Tehran? Really?" He argues that an embassy is never simply a building. It is recognition. It is legitimacy. It is a message. Joining Jian are Avideh Motmaen-Far, journalist, political commentator and President of the Council of Iranian Canadians, and Ardeshir Zarezadeh, lawyer, former political prisoner and Director of the International Center for Human Rights in Iran. They discuss why the embassy was originally closed, whether engagement amounts to endorsement, the unresolved legacy of Flight PS752, the IRGC's terrorist designation in Canada, transnational repression against Iranian-Canadians and who would ultimately benefit from Canada returning to Tehran. Plus, details on Roqe Live 6, coming this Saturday, July 18. This episode is brought to you with the support of Avoca Chocolates.
