News with Suz in Politico Magazine: 'The Women of Iran Are Not Backing Down'

From Helmet to Heels

An important piece of journalism seemed like a great time to move from soft launch to hard launch.

A quick recap: I left my role as Capitol Hill Correspondent for BBC World News ‘The Context with Christian Fraser,’ flew to Dubai, presented an hour long BBC documentary on the Iran vs Israel covert war ‘Out of the Shadows,’ and while it was in production, the Iranian women launched a revolution.

So I began reporting this Politico Magazine piece.

And rather auspiciously on the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit - it’s now live:

The Fabric of Iran’s Islamic Republic is Unraveling.

Last year on January 22 the conversation in KianpourWorld was all about Women Building Peace, the award winning BBC World Service series I created and hosted.

This year, it’s about women building power.

Stay tuned for more.

Thank you for sharing @AndrewYang. What the women are doing inside Iran - and those outside like @NazaninBoniadi whom I spoke with for this piece - is remarkable, and inspiring others around to world. https://t.co/yCOTnzXIN0

“Despite the brutal crackdown, they’re showing no signs of slowing down. I think this is a historic moment, I truly believe this is the first female-led revolution of our time.” @KianpourWorld https://t.co/ZjKPChMRvG
