Iran is at a crossroads — and while the world watches protests in Tehran, almost no one is talking about what’s happening in Ahwaz. In this episode of The Erin Molan Show, Erin speaks with Shaffeq Sharhani, a man who calls himself a voice for the Ahwazi Arab people — an Arab minority living in southwestern Iran, in one of the most oil- and gas-rich regions in the Middle East. He says his people have lived under occupation, forced assimilation, and systematic repression for over 100 years — and that as Iran’s regime weakens, suppressed nations inside Iran are preparing for what comes next.

In the second half of the show, Erin is joined by Kevin Cohen, a national security and cyber-intelligence expert, for a sobering conversation about lone-wolf terrorism, unvetted immigration, and why governments are struggling to identify threats before attacks occur — particularly in the wake of tragedies like the Bondi massacre.
