In this timely discussion, we speak with Ramin Golbang, an Iranian-born educator, writer, and activist based in Oslo, Norway. A teacher of mathematics, physics, and programming—affiliated with private institutions and connected to the University of Oslo—Golbang merges his academic expertise with unwavering advocacy for human rights and political transformation.

A committed monarchist, he passionately supports restoring the Pahlavi dynasty and reviving Iran’s pre-1979 imperial principles. From a young age, he realized that meaningful change against the Islamic Republic’s repressive regime was impossible from within Iran—leading him to depart as an exile and focus his efforts on opposition from abroad.

Golbang actively organizes the Iranian diaspora, holding leadership roles in monarchist groups such as the Party of Resurrection of Iran Patriots (حزب رستاخیز ایران‌گرایان) and supporting cultural initiatives to preserve Persian heritage.

In the interview, he critiques the limited Scandinavian media coverage of the major anti-regime protests that began in late December 2025 and intensified around New Year 2026, contrasting it with the heavy focus on Gaza. He accuses Scandinavian governments of prioritizing energy cooperation and diplomatic ties with Tehran over Iran’s grave human rights violations—including child marriages at age nine, rape in prisons, and the killing of street protesters.

Golbang also addresses the risks to the diaspora in Norway, where Iranian regime agents monitor exiles. While current risk assessments deter direct attacks on Iranians there, he cites the March 2026 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Oslo (resulting in the arrest of three Norwegian-Iraqi brothers) as an example of emerging regional threats.

Join us for Golbang’s candid insights on the diaspora’s role in challenging the regime, the realities of exile activism, and the path to a liberated Iran rooted in its historic values.
