What's Really Going On Inside Iran?

Deep Dive

Show Notes

For those who oppose the Islamic Republic of Iran, the knock on the door can come at any moment. Some sleep with makeshift weapons by their bed. Or try to sleep, as each night flag-waving goons patrol the streets and blast pro-regime slogans through their windows.

By morning, they wake to the latest disaster. Another early hours arrest. Another execution. Another family ripped apart.

Over the past few weeks, Chief Foreign Correspondent Andrew Jehring and Middle East Correspondent Natalie Lisbona have been speaking directly with Iranians to find out what's really happening inside the country.

In this special episode of Deep Dive, they share what they've heard and ask: as the rage of its own people reaches boiling point, can the Ayatollah's regime survive?

Host: Andrew Jehring Producer: Sally McLennan Editor: Alex Graham Executive Producers: Bella Soames and Joseph Palmer
