Who could actually lead Iran if the regime collapses? On this episode of The Erin Molan Show, Erin speaks with former CIA Director and U.S. General David Petraeus and Middle East analyst and activist Dalia Ziada about the future of Iran and the possibility of a completely new Middle East. As tensions escalate, Petraeus explains why regime change from the air is far more complicated than many believe — and why the real challenge begins the day after the regime falls. The conversation then turns to the Reza Pahlavi question and whether a credible opposition leadership could realistically emerge. Dalia Ziada brings a powerful perspective from the Arab world, explaining why many in the region believe the fall of the Iranian regime could reshape the Middle East entirely — and what Iran’s people must do to avoid repeating the mistakes of past revolutions. Two perspectives. One enormous question: What comes after the Iranian regime?
