Bikrum Gill

Bikrum Gill, a political science and international political economy scholar and author, unpacks imperialism, sovereignty, and colonial capitalism. He explains why Iranian sovereignty threatens U.S. regional power. He connects US actions against Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, brings China into the picture, and examines regional alignments and forms of resistance.

Bikrum Gill, scholar of international political economy and anti-imperialist academic, argues that separating the Iranian people from the state repeats imperialist logic. He traces the 1953 coup, the 1979 revolution, and how sanctions and foreign intervention shape crises. He discusses Iran’s regional role, deterrence, and why opposing sanctions and standing for sovereignty matter now.
