Can U.S. & Iran Lower Tensions? Officials Begin New Talks Amid Trump Threats of Military Strikes
In the wake of deadly mass protests that have shaken the ruling Iranian government, and with U.S. leaders publicly weighing the idea of military intervention and potential regime change in Iran, American and Iranian officials are beginning renewed talks over Iran's nuclear program today. We speak to two guests, reporter Nilo Tabrizy and scholar Arang Keshavarzian, about the "very strange and contradictory situation" facing the country. "For both the Iranian state, but more importantly for Iranian people, it's very unclear what all of this portends, especially since it doesn't seem like these negotiations will go beyond the question of the nuclear program," says Keshavarzian.

"Prevent the Bloodshed": Filmmaker Sepideh Farsi on Iran Protests & U.S. Threats of Military Strikes
The latest reliable estimates of the death toll in Iran's recent nationwide protests are growing, potentially reaching the tens of thousands. Some estimates place the number of civilians killed by government forces at 30,000 or more. We play a rare eyewitness account of the deadly massacre of protesters in Rasht, Iran, and speak to the Iranian filmmaker and political dissident Sepideh Farsi, who says U.S. military intervention "would only worsen the situation." She warns that President Trump's interest in U.S. military action on the country is "for business," and "not for Iranian people."
