Saturday Mornings International News Review EXTRA: U.S. Response to Iran’s Deadly Crackdown & Farewell to Catherine O’Hara

This week’s International News Review Extra takes a sobering turn as Steve Okun, CEO of APAC Advisors joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to help unpack Iran, where new reports and verified footage reveal the scale of the government’s violent crackdown on nationwide protests. Despite weeks of internet blackouts, accounts are emerging of mass casualties, live fire on civilians, and a level of state repression not seen in decades. Steve breaks down what this means for regional stability, U.S.–Iran tensions, and why the international community is struggling to respond effectively. From there, we shift to a very different kind of global moment—the passing of beloved actor Catherine O’Hara at age 71. Known for Home Alone, Beetlejuice, and her iconic role as Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek, O’Hara leaves behind a legacy of comedic brilliance and creative generosity. Tributes from across the entertainment world highlight her influence, warmth, and decades-long impact on audiences.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
