Is the world about to see the United States intervene in another country – this time, Iran?

Since late December, Iran has been rocked by mass protests, and the government has responded with force.

The internet has been cut for days at a time, making it difficult to verify what’s happening on the ground. Reports suggest a death toll in the thousands, with even larger numbers of protesters detained.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has been publicly encouraging protesters and declaring that “help is on the way”.

Today, Iranian-born analyst and executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, Trita Parsi, on a regime fighting for survival – and on what Trump’s threats could mean for the entire Middle East.
