The widespread protests in Iran were sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. She died after being detained by Iran's morality police for allegedly violating the country's strict dress code.
The fuel that's keeping them going is a broader, deeper resentment at life under the regime.
Karim Sadjadpour, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace explains what risk the protests pose to the regime, and why he believes it is incapable of reform.
This episode also features excerpts from NPR's Steve Inskeep's interview with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and reporting from NPR's Peter Kenyon.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Off the top of their heads: Iran’s widespread protests
Women are burning their hijabs on bonfires and hacking off their hair—but the unrest has come to be about far more than the heavy hands of the morality police. The murder of Abe Shinzo, a former Japanese prime minister, exposed troubling government links to a cult-like sect; the fallout could unseat his successor. And using flying robots as 3D printers.

The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Herbie Newell on How Men Play Irreplaceable Role in Creating Culture of Life
Herbie Newell and his staff at Lifeline Children’s Services journey with many women through unplanned pregnancies.
Over the years, Newell has come to see that “abortion isn’t about liberating women."
"It is the sexual ‘liberation’ of men,” he recently wrote for The Washington Stand.
For too long, the role of men has been ignored or minimized in the conversation about abortion, Newell says. Men can play a critical role in furthering a culture of life in America. In fact, their role is irreplaceable.
Newell joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the negative effects abortion has on men, and to explain how men can become empowered to support women facing crisis pregnancies.
Enjoy the show!
