Bassiri Tabrizi: Another Iran-Israel Escalation Likely

Iran's president has ordered security forces not to target peaceful protesters in a bid to defuse violent unrest that activists say has left at least 36 people dead. Masoud Pezeshkian's comments come as security forces have forcibly broken up demonstrations and raided hospitals. The protests, which began over the weakening currency and the associated rise in prices, have prompted President Donald Trump to threaten US intervention if protestors die during demonstrations. Aniseh Bassiri Tabrizi, Senior Analyst at Control Risks spoke to Bloomberg’s Horizons Middle East and Africa anchor Joumanna Bercetche on the protests plus relations between Iran and Israel.
