Iran threatens further crackdown as protests grow

Season 2026 Episode 9 | 9m 00s

Protests across Iran continued to grow despite a nationwide blackout implemented overnight. What started as street marches against crippling inflation in the autocratic state have quickly grown to become one of Iran’s largest protest movements in years. Stephanie Sy reports and Amna Nawaz discusses more with Vali Nasr.
