Iran Shows Strength While Mourning Supreme Leader; Ukraine Struggles With Defense Missile Shortage

from Here's the Scoop · host Yasmin Vossoughian, Richard Engel, Greg Rosenstein

Crowds are filling the streets of Tehran, Iran, for the funeral procession of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, four months after the start of the war with the U.S. and Israel. NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel reports from Tehran on how the conflict has emboldened the Iranian government. Then, Russia’s ballistic missiles struck targets in Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, hours before the start of the NATO summit in Turkey, underscoring the country’s lack of air defenses. Ukrainian journalist Illia Ponomarenko explains why Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will implore NATO leaders for aid, but why his requests may be hard to fulfill. Plus, did President Donald Trump force FIFA to reconsider a red card against U.S. striker Folarin Balogun? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
