What happens when a retired US intelligence officer sits down with his own daughter, a Princeton PhD candidate specializing in Iran and the Middle East?
In this special episode of Threat and Theory, Howard Hart and Krista Hart explore one of the world's most misunderstood countries. They discuss whether the Islamic Republic is truly in decline, how sanctions have reshaped Iran's economy, why the Iranian people are often overlooked in geopolitical debates, and what history may ultimately say about this pivotal moment.
The conversation also turns personal as Krista reflects on growing up after 9/11 with a father serving in US intelligence, how those experiences shaped her academic journey, and why understanding people is just as important as understanding governments.
This is an honest conversation about intelligence, history, family, and the human side of global conflict that rarely makes the headlines.
