Iranian-American entrepreneur and activist Moj Mahdara joins Tara to discuss the appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran's new Supreme Leader — what it means for the Iranian people, the diaspora, and U.S. foreign policy. Moj shares her personal story of trying to reach family in Iran via Starlink, makes the case for regime change over prolonged military conflict, and explains why millions of Iranians are placing their hopes in the Trump administration. A raw, emotional, and deeply informed conversation.
Moj Mahdara is the former CEO of Beautycon and a founding member of the Iranian Diaspora Collective, a global advocacy group formed after the death of Mahsa Amini.
