What can history teach us about the conflict in the Middle East?

Jonny Dymond brings together a carefully curated panel of experts, academics and journalists to talk about the conflict in the region.

This week鈥檚 panel includes Dr Siavush Randjbar-Daemi, a lecturer at the University of St Andrews, and Dr Roham Alvandi, expert in Iran and modern Middle East history.

They revisit February 1979, when Ayatollah Khomeini returned from exile to Iran in the defining moment of a revolution that would change his country and the Middle East. And, they dig deeper into the complexities of Iran鈥檚 relationship with Israel.
