Anti-government protests in Iran

from The National Pulse · host SAfm

    We look at the ongoing protests in Iran. Demonstrations first began in Tehran last month, triggered by a sharp slide in the value of the rial currency - but have since spread to all 31 of the country's provinces. The country’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed that the Islamic republic would "not back down" in the face of protests after the biggest rallies yet in an almost two-week movement sparked by anger over the rising cost of living.   GUEST: Naeem Jeena, Senior Researcher at Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection (MISTRA)
