Iran has responded aggressively across the Gulf, targeting or threatening neighboring states, while announcing a temporary leadership structure in Tehran. The stakes now extend far beyond Iran’s borders.To make sense of this moment, Mosheh speaks again with Washington Post journalist and former Tehran correspondent Jason Rezaian — who spent 544 days imprisoned by the Iranian regime and has deep knowledge of the country and the regime.Just 36 hours into this new phase of conflict, Rezaian breaks down how significant the removal of Iran’s top leadership really is, whether cracks could emerge inside the security forces, and how the Islamic Republic has maintained power for decades. We examine the real scenarios ahead and what Iranians are feeling on the ground. Mosheh Oinounou (⁠⁠⁠@mosheh⁠⁠⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.
