Iran’s uprising meets a brutal crackdown

Season 2026 Episode 16 | 9m 57s

It’s been a week since Iran imposed a complete internet blackout, with most of its 90 million people cut off from the world. And on Friday, the crown prince in exile urged U.S. military intervention. Geoff Bennett discussed the latest with Abbas Milani, director of Iranian Studies at Stanford University, and Ray Takeyh, senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
