  Jun 11, 20261h 57mS7

  This is our newest installment of our Guerrilla History series previewing and analyzing the major international football (soccer) tournaments on and off the pitch. This time, with the disastrous US/Canada/Mexico hosted World Cup 2026. Amid war on Iran, anti-immigrant ICE terror gangs, dismal initial attendance numbers and astronomical costs, this world cup looks to be one of the worst in history. No wonder there have been calls to boycott it and the US. A terrific global panel joins Guerrilla History hosts Adnan and Henry to discuss the geopolitics of the once beautiful game and review the myriad ways this world cup violates the spirit of sport. Gazan journalist Abubaker Abed , Resistance is Fertile podcast co-host Indi.ca, and returning panelist and great friend of both Guerrilla History and the Adnan Husain Show Latin American historian Alex Aviña will break this down.

  Still Minab: Iran's Martyrs and Sovereign Truth w/Helyeh Doutaghi and Bikrum Gill [Adnan Husain Show]

  Jun 5, 20261h 30mS7

  The following is an episode from our sister podcast, The Adnan Husain Show: Helyeh Doutaghi from Tehran and Bikrum Gill join me to discuss the haunting and powerful series "Still Minab" and its first two episodes. Helyeh's documentary absorbs the first part of our discussion about narrating and expressing the truth outside of the colonial and imperial framework. Then Adnan and Bikrum reflect on the wider significance of Iran's defiant position against the imperialist world system, revolutionary Shi'i theology and Islam as a vanguard of anti-imperialist resistance, and the fundamental question of sovereignty. We look forward to another episode soon with stable internet to further develop the themes of the scholarly article Helyeh and Bikrum are writing for Middle East Critique on these issues of Iran's place in anti-imperialist resistance history, theory and practice.
