New Iranian supreme leader raises conflict fears

from Sunrise · host LiSTNR

Mujtaba Khamenei, the 59-year-old son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has assumed leadership in Iran following his father's death in airstrikes that also killed his mother, wife, and brother. The new supreme leader, from the conservative faction, shows no indication of acceding to Washington's demands, raising concerns about escalating conflict between Iran and the United States. Middle East analyst Dr Roger Shanahan discusses the implications of this leadership transition and the uncertainty surrounding President Trump's strategic objectives in the region.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
