I'm Amanda Knox, and you're listening to Hard Knox.

Today I'm speaking with Zara Ammanpur, who is an entrepreneur, a mother, and an activist for the Iranian resistance.

In light of the current war with Iran, I spoke with Zara about the Iranian resistance movement,

about what it means for the West to have a relationship with the current regime,

and also just general discussions about how to both resist and to rise above the challenges that we face,

the losses that we face, the sacrifices that we have to have in life,
