Pressure Is Mounting on Iran's Regime

from Big Take · host Bloomberg and iHeartPodcasts

Weeks of protests in Iran started over the high price of food and essential goods. They quickly engulfed the nation and, before long, were met with deadly force by the Iranian regime’s security forces.  The violent crackdown has drawn international condemnation and President Trump has offered protestors his support.  On today’s Big Take podcast, host David Gura and International Crisis Group’s Iran Project Director Ali Vaez discuss how we got here, the existential threats facing the Iranian regime and what could come next if it falls.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
