An explosive interview by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has revealed critical internal security breaches and deep US and Israeli intelligence infiltration inside the regime.
On part two of today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Iranian journalist Tara Kangarlou joins Venetia Rainey to discuss the revelations as well as the mounting human fallout of the escalating US-Iran war for ordinary civilians.
They discuss how Donald Trump’s strikes are smashing critical civilian infrastructure, why a brutal wave of political executions could accelerate, and how the economy is in meltdown.
