10:30Now Playing“Forever War” was the term coined to describe the war in Afghanistan, where the vaunted inexhaustibility of American firepower, might and money ran into the limits of its endurance, and appetite for distant conflicts. Ali Vaez, author of an op-ed in The New York Times, writes that the conflict between the US and Iran might become a “forever war” and explains why to CNN.
Simultaneously, Iran continues to execute political prisoners under the cover of war. The Oslo-based group Iran Human Rights (IHR), believes the regime has ramped up executions as of late. CNN speaks to an Iranian woman whose brothers are on death row.
