Iran’s New Wave of Uprisings, What’s Different This Time, and What Comes Next

There needs to be a significant international backing, including military action, to target the regime, along with a powerful speech from leaders like President Trump to galvanize support.
Iran’s New Wave of Uprisings, What’s Different This Time, and What Comes Next
Q: What do you believe is the difference between what's happening now in Iran and the protests that we've seen in Iran before?
The current protests are fundamentally different due to the increasing organization, scale, and the unified call to end the regime, rather than focusing on individual grievances.
Inside the Muslim Brotherhood Network and the New US Crackdown With Mariam Whaba
Q: How does the U.S. executive order affect the Muslim Brotherhood?
The executive order initiates investigations into Muslim Brotherhood branches with the potential for designations as terrorist organizations if evidentiary standards are met.
Inside the Muslim Brotherhood Network and the New US Crackdown With Mariam Whaba
