Who’s in charge in Iran after leadership strikes?

The war on Iran is spreading into classrooms and campuses. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened American universities in neighboring countries, after attacks on two Iranian universities over the weekend. Since the start of the war, at least 21 Iranian universities have reportedly been damaged. Why has education become a target of the US-Israeli war on Iran?

In this episode: 
Setareh Sadeqi (@leelako), Assistant Professor at University of Tehran
