“You can’t bomb people into a revolution.”
That’s how Iranian-American activist Hoda Katebi describes the escalating war between Israel and Iran, following a surprise large-scale Israeli strike, and the calls for regime change emerging.
She reflects on the “disgusting irony” of those who once supported Iranian women now cheering on Israeli strikes, and how narratives like “liberation through bombing” only strengthen authoritarian governments.
In this Real Talk interview, Hoda also opens up about what she’s hearing from family on the ground inside Iran, as millions are told to evacuate the capital.
