YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Iran’s economy has been crippled by US and European sanctions. And inside the country, thousands of citizens have taken to the streets to protest the Islamic government’s strict religious laws, and the brutality of its security forces in crushing dissent.

Thousands of protesters have been arrested, and some have been put to death.

Yet despite international economic pressure and rising internal discontent, there are few signs that the government is weakening.

Bloomberg senior international affairs correspondent Marc Champion joins the episode to explain what to make of the turmoil happening now in Iran, and how long an unpopular regime can remain in power. And Ali Vaez, Iran Project Director at the International Crisis Group, talks about the danger that tensions between Iran and the West could boil over–and how governments might prevent that from happening.
