Iran: Understanding the Unrest

The World

To help put the unrest in Iran into perspective, we turn to three different voices from the Iranian and Iranian-American community. Kelly Niknejad is editor and founder of the Iranian news website Tehran Bureau, Amir Farokhi, an Iranian-American attorney in Atlanta, and “Nahzi” an Iranian artist who wishes to remain anonymous because she will soon return to Iran, all join The Takeaway to discuss what news sources they trust, and what their hopes are for Iran.
