At Breakthrough News we believe in the power of independent media. Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape - controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. They control the news cycle, to which social media and even most “alternative” media is forced to respond. We are breaking through that cycle.
We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities - because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
We can be that media arm, but only with your help. Become a Patron and join us on the front lines in the battle of ideas.

You see this guy here. He is the main reason that all of those Iranian news sites were seized.
Someone like Marandi being heard by Western audiences is the biggest nightmare of the intelligence services of the west.
A simple explanation by an honest and earnest person can unravel the entire game.
He was gassed TWICE by Saddam and then I think by the Saudi, etc. proxies in Syria, so he's really also a real survivor war hero!
What r u talking about… r u people for real?
This guy is a nobody but a mouthpiece for the oppresive terrorist regime of Iran.

Great host in Rania and superb guest in Prof. Marandi. Keep it live!
I 🤍💙❤🙏🙏🙏 Professor Marandi and the Islamic Republic of Iran. I love this show too. Thank you for inviting him and providing the side of the story that the western media don't tell us. Iranian leaders are far wiser and honorable than all the western leaders put together.
Great work guys and Mohammad is a great, balanced voice against Western imperialism and one that should be heard widely.
This guest is amazing
Rania you are a darling of the oppressed and a voice for oppressed. Keep it up like we say in South Africa "Sterkte" strength.
I like Rania as an interviewer, she doesn’t interrupt. Smart lady as always
Yeah wouldn't want to interrupt a Propaganda piece...Shameful indeed
Yes plus she's looking hot

@@k9k9k9er6 why don't you get angry at the warmongers of the United Snake of Amerikkkan regime which they removed your Shah. As any honest and intelligent person would know that Amerikkkan regime are a shit stirra, they do not believe in democracy, they do not believe in human rights nor they believe in freedom of thought and speach, but they pretending they are, just look at what they did to this innocent man Julian Assange. Freedom to Julian Assange
Not to mention she's so beautiful.
Good interview! Thanks for inviting professor Marandi!
Lovely to see Professor Marandi on your show.
Iran deserves all support - the biggest Poets are from there.

Thank you Rania and Professor Marandi...its so refreshing to hear simple 'truth.' The U.S. is just incapable to delivering the same.
Great interviewee, Dr Seyed Muhammad Marandi. Great show by Rania Khalik. Thank you both and the behind the scenes team that made it possible.
Thank you Rania, excellent interview !
Obrigado Rania!
This professor is always on point. Nice interview
Love this professor and his views! He’s not afraid to tell it like it is.always had and will. Iran and Iranians have always been tolerant and friendly people towards their neighbors and their minorities in Iran. Something lacks in Turkey and Israel.
Long live Iran and the resistance axis!
Iran and Iranians are not the same as their oppresive theocratic oppresive regime.
Always inspired by Mr.marandi
Great Interview, Well done Seyed 👍
are u in Iran?
@@k9k9k9er6 haha.. No I am not in Iran or from Iran, That's just my name, Shiraz 🙂
Shiraz is a name of a city in Iran...I assumed u may have used it...well that explains ur initial comment...have a good day
Big love for both of you from UK!
Two brilliant people.
Another great guest.
are you a woman Wendy? seriously, a great guess that represents a regime that discriminates against woman.????..wow you people have no moral compass, do u?
@@k9k9k9er6 The Saudi and Emirati allies of the US discriminate against women far more, and so do the HTS that the US props up in Idlib. Israel, on the other hand, is perfectly even-handed in killing Palestinian men and women equally, and the US sanctions against Iran hurt both men and women equally, but somehow I don't think this is particularly important. Supporting the US against Iran is not good for women - either in terms of their equality with men or in absolute terms.
@@k9k9k9er6 wheres ur proof that iran suppresses women ? Have u seen it in Qatar and saudi also UAE
@@tj5180 where is my proof? lol seems like u need to spend couple of minutes goolging..
for example woman can not go out of the country without a a male promession
(father, husband....) they can not go to sporting stadiums, they can not hold high office, like president or judge, they are considered half the man when getting inheretance, hijab is enforeced on them by law...and much more, not my problem u r ignorant...
lol proof, how silly and lazy are u not to even research before typing this comment here...
It's an ISLAMIC THEOCRACY in Iran bud! silly silly
@@dumupad3-da241 so the US allies need to fix themeselved too..whats ur point?
I am Iranian an my country needs to be free...
WHat a silly argument...
One of my favorite guests and a much needed debunking! The propaganda is insane!!
Nobody's believing it anyway lmao even "right wingers" arent falling for the nonsense anymore which is refreshing
Yeah us Iranians love our dictatorial theocracy… NOT!
U people have got to be insane to think a country run my religious zealots is doing well…and people r loving it…
Find a few actual Iranians like me ask them what they think of the corrupt mismanaged backwards regime in Iran…
Btw this guy works for the Islamic republic of course he will whitewash things…
What a joke
Nobody is fool by your Western names and fake pictures. Nobody in their right mind supports an oppresive terrorist regime such as the terrorist regime oppressing, raping, torturing Iranians and journalists, shooting down Ukrainian airplane intentionally, etc. You all are part of cyber army hired by the terrorist regime in Iran. These are the liberal memes Iran used to target Americans on Facebook, CZcams, etc
www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2018/08/24/how-iran-targeted-u-s-facebook-youtube-and-twitter-liberal-memes/1079882002/
Btw, even your current so called islamist president is wanted by Interpol for terrorism related charges and genocide of Iranian political prisoners. How can he travel to other countries and not get arrested?
@@k9k9k9er6 There are many 'actual' Iranians who support the current system and there is nothing strange about that. People often vote for religious zealots in democracies, too. However, pro-system Iranians usually don't speak English and aren't on CZcams. It's the same with all countries attacked by the US - the governments have many supporters, but the US agents, puppets and dupes have the best access to the internet, spend the most time doing online activism and are most likely to speak English or to be represented in the diaspora.
@@encephabol7955 I don't know if Elizabeth is legit, but the MEK is well-known to operate a troll army and I'm sure they aren't the only ones, so we can't know if you and K9 are legit either. All in all, since none of us know anything about each other, it makes more sense to focus on the issues and not on who people allegedly are.
Prof Marandi is brilliant. Rania is awesome too.
Support iran❤❤❤
Professor Mohammad Marandi ❤
Professor Mohammad Marandi is a treasure
Too bad the Iranian people will rip him apart after we overthrow this regime...lol
@@k9k9k9er6 You don't get to speak for the Iranian people. But the fact that you clearly don't care about human rights and due process proves that you are no better than the regime and shouldn't be let anywhere near power.
@@dumupad3-da241 Yeah u seem like u care about us Iranians so much and especailly human rights...
He will be killed as a traitor to our country, for being a supporter and a propaganda mouth piece for a dictatorial regime that for 43year destroyed millions of lives both in IRan and in mideast, he will be punished for his whitewashing of the crimes in my land...
Just like how the Naazis got what they deserved...
THe fact that he wont get to the trial bud, it that these filthycorrupt people have done so much crime and people hate them so much that once they get their hands on them, they will kill them...that what happens when u destroys millions of lives...
Its coming, they can feel it...people are fed up...JUSTICE bud! JUSTICE! and let that be the lesson to the next tyrants and those who plan to support them in the future...When u take a people hostage for 43 years and do what u want to them, they will eventully wipe u off...that is how it works
@@k9k9k9er6 Killing people just for words or 'supporting a regime' is itself tyranny. Also, I don't think you really have a majority of the Iranian people behind you - otherwise, the current system wouldn't be able to exist. It's not 'the people' in general who will engage in mass terror, it's you and your allies if you get to power - precisely b/c you know that there are *many* Iranians who aren't on your side, and that's how you will try to eliminate dissent. I don't see any evidence for the claim that the current Iranian system, objectionable as it is, has 'destroyed millions of lives in Iran and the Middle East'. On the other hand, the US and its allies, whom you are whitewashing in order to attack the IRI government, definitely have.
@@dumupad3-da241 when u start speaking Persian come back and talk...otherwise u sound like a silly foreigner to me...lecturing me on my own country...
me and my allies?? lol silly silly
THis regime is on its last days...bud
again either type persian, or stop ur silly comments, i cant handle the silliness...so childish
Why are Iranian elections the concern of the west whose elections are all questionable?
Distraction. Arrogance.
I'm really happy they voted for Raisi. I hope his economic and social policy programs work out well for Iran. They tried globalization and negotiation and a kind of neocolonial scale of inspection regime giving up alot of sovereignty and alot of economic potential (sadly and aggravatingly, ultimately in vain and at the coat of 10s maybe 100s of thousands of lives even before Covid). Rouhani, Zarif and Larijani did all they could and the public gave them 8 years and the bulk of the blame goes to imperialist US and E3. The people decided to stay home and/or for a change back to the left de facto.
Because israel wants to expand its borders thats why. Take a look who owns all these media outfits we're discussing. Ik ik Im not supposed to say that lol
The yanks are envious and jealous of other nations that actually really have democratic elections , that they always preach to others but never practice what they preach..
yankistan has become a tyrannical entity , balls are being squeezed by their chosen masters ..
Why was ISIS a concern?
This is really excellent, the best Iran post election coverage I've seen.. kudos mashAllah
Hi Rania. I am really enjoying the conversation with Dr Morandi he is a good speaker 🔊. David. The Reeping is hitting the western world.

Iran will resist imperialism, zionism and wahhabi Saudi terrorism 🇮🇷♥️🇵🇸
ultimately though I suspect the only successful resistance requires nukes. Iran needs nukes to shut up the cancer state and the US. North Korea anyone ?
Of course, I would prefer denuking the middle east which would require the cancer state to rid itself or its nuclear arsenal.

57:00 That's great point
this should have more views th
I've always been fascinated by Iran and that region's history. Studied it in a graduate seminar on comparative political systems and all this lines up with how I understand it. There's no such thing as a benevolent state. All states are an amalgamation of competing and cooperative interests arranged through a filter of history, culture, material and class interests and antagonisms, external forces and so on. With few exceptions, the only thing that makes one state good and another evil is the subjective assessment levied at a particular moment in time.
Iran as it is today is on the verge of cultural destruction as it's people are being oppressed under an islamist terrorist entity that hates any thing Iranian and trying to replace the Iranian culture with sharia law. Afghanistan is not doing any better.
What does Iran expect? Trying to negotiate a nuclear deal with the devil's representatives!
❤❤❤ God bless ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN
Love my pious , and wise supreme leader along with our hard working president ! ✊❤️🇮🇷
Era of any domination is over.
This is an era of cooperation.
All foreign countries must leave.
I’m really impressed with your channel Rania! The propaganda is so strong in the west that even though I have heard about many of the malevolent actions of the US, and US allies throughout the world, I’m still drawn towards this notion that the US is somehow still a leader on the side of justice and truth. (Which has never been true). Thank you for pulling me back towards the truth. I am very grateful!
Glad you mentioned Yugoslavia where people, before destroying by Bush and later Clintons were living in harmony and respect... today hateret and unseen poverty are destroying peoples lifes
You are so right!!!
That joke about Aaron: Hahaha!
How can ANYONE in Iran be pro West? Either they’re ignorant & don’t know what’s going on or they do know & the sanctions don’t bother them - so if they have no concerns for their fellow Iranians, why haven’t they left?
US the archangel of free speech closes down any dissenting voice, hmmm yep satan was also an archangel.
The regime is imploding... of course from within... the seemingly fast approaching demise of the supreme leader necessitates a host of new strategies and political lineups... The resemblance to the final years of the Shah is mind-blowing... the issue of "ethnic minorities" will become more critical in coming months... A coup by Sepah seems to be the only remedy for the dying regime...but for how long?...btw... that Harandi dares to mention "free speech" in and of itself is outrageously shameless... being the mouthpiece for a theocratical dictatorship and mourn the death of free speech in the west, is only hilarious...
IRAN ❤🌹🕊🇮🇷
Outstanding explanation of the western pressures, & yes, genocidal measures against Iran for decades. Interestingly, independent travelers through Iran with CZcams channels have consistently shown Iranian hospitality, bustling markets & generally good spirits. These have been travelers from Europe & USA, & even one Chinese woman making her way home, Overland just after C19. Of course, these are travelers simply making their way through the country following fairly direct routes. Nevertheless, they give ample evidence that Iranian people & culture are friendly, hospitable & NO WAY resemble anything in Western media.
The blocked websites mostly ran by Islamic republic radio and tv stations as it's explained by authorities were hosted by American firms and since several reminders of not being signed into and covered under transparency law AFIOAC
They were shut.

Love you and CZcams family🌹🌹🌹😂😂🌹🌹😂😂🌹🌹🌹😂🌹😂😂🌹🌹🌹🌹😂🌹😂🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

As to energy needs of a country. That could side step sanctions and other measures. And make any country energy independent. One only need to rely on their own populations and other biological resources. To get complete energy self sustainable sufficiency. And also put in place multiple redundancies to keep energy, which includes fuels. That do not need to be imported or taken from by force. Like that which is happening in Syria. Which is being occupied by the US and proxies. With stable energy. Comes stability to be self sufficient in almost everything a country could need. I have one such energy infrastructure plan. Which also includes water infrastructure.

I'm just so sorry to hear how far the BBC among other networks has fallen with regard to Iran. I was especially interested in your account contrasting BBC domestic and World Service output. In the face of the evident crumbling of BBC news in the UK, the myth remains of the solidity of the World Service, presumably from people who do not listen to it, or who are confined to its English language output, and, most of all, are without any other sources against which to evaluate its output. Our domestic BBC has issues in reporting on Northern Ireland accurately, let alone Yemen or Iran!
Thank you for this programme and your output, especially on sanctions, and I hope the US don't police you as they have Press.tv.
The BBC Persian service has been a rag for many decades now. The world service was set up as part of a sophisticated propaganda system. It hasn’t “fallen”, it is doing what it was designed to.
Mr Mallon ( a former member of British parliament) believes that Mi6 and BBC are one and the same.
