Iran Special: Q&A

Tensions surrounding Iran are escalating as anti-government protests spread and the possibility of intervention by the United States looms. The protests, initially sparked by economic grievances, have transformed into widespread calls for regime change, met with a violent crackdown by Iranian authorities. The Iranian government accuses the rioters of being armed terrorists trained by Mossad and the CIA. Amidst an internet blackout and severed international phone lines, reports of mass casualties and the use of pellet guns against protesters have emerged. Donald Trump has warned of potential American action, dependent on Iran's response, while also hinting at a willingness to negotiate. The discussion includes the potential implications of regime change, the views of protesters on possible war, and the views of Reza Pahlavi, the former Shah of Iran's son.
