Shokoofeh Azar

In a conversation with SBS Hebrew, Iranian Australian journalist Shokoofeh Azar paints a bleak picture of Iran, describing a country battered by economic collapse. She provides a rare glimpse into Tehran’s ideological warfare, its use of paid protesters and the psychological toll of a society under siege. From three-month internet blackouts to the massacres in January, Azar reveals a nation feeling abandoned by Europe.
