Sahar Delijani — born to dissidents in a Tehran prison — has been returning, through her writing, to the stories of repression, imprisonment and resistance that have been reverberating through her family all her life. In a recent op-ed in Le Monde, she wrote about the timing of the current US and Israeli war on Iran, coming right on the heels of massive protests in Iran, met with violence from the Islamic Republic. Delijani joins The World’s Carolyn Beeler to talk about the impact of the decades-long threats Iranians face, of both internal repression and foreign attacks.
