Seventeen-year-old Sam Afshari was wounded during Iran’s January protests and taken to a hospital in Karaj, where doctors were trying to save his life. According to his father, Parviz Afshari, security forces entered the room while a breathing tube was still in his mouth — and fired a final, fatal shot.

On this episode of Eye for Iran, we speak with Sam’s father, who is now calling for justice — and for the end of the Islamic Republic — after his son was killed following detention during the nationwide crackdown that left tens of thousands dead.

Then, as Iranian officials prepare to appear before United Nations human rights bodies in Geneva, UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer calls for a diplomatic walkout and accountability for the regime’s actions.

And as a reported end-of-February nuclear deadline approaches, threats escalate from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and military deployments intensify — including the arrival of the USS Ford carrier strike group. Is diplomacy running out of time? Is war now imminent?

Featuring analysis from Dr. Casey Babb, Director at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute; Peter Roff, Contributing Editor at Newsweek; and Adelle Nazarian, Senior Fellow at the Gold Institute for International Strategy.
