Ali Safavi, a member of Iran’s Parliament in Exile will be the guest Wednesday Oct. 14, 2020 on “The Ray Hanania Show” on WNZL AM 690 Detroit Radio to discuss how America must confront Iran’s tyrannical government.

The weekly radio show focuses each week on American election and political issues and is sponsored by the Arab News Newspaper, the Middle East’s leading English-language newspaper.
