Listen to “How Iran is Reacting to the Soleimani Strike” on Spreaker.
Last week, a U.S. drone strike killed the commander of the Iranian Quds Force Gen. Kassem Soleimani and several other high-level figures connected to Iran’s deadly efforts in Iraq and beyond. Iran is vowing revenge and is even putting a bounty on the head of President Trump.
But what are the short and long-term impacts on the Iranian regime of Soleimani’s death? Are the Iranian people distraught at the news or celebrating his demise? Are the mass demonstrations organic or just propaganda? And what is Iran actually likely to do in response to the attack?
Listen to the podcast as Radio America’s Greg Corombos gets answers to these questions and more from Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the Washington office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran.
