- Protests in Iran have erupted over the past few weeks as citizens from across the country have taken to the streets to voice their opposition against the government. Much of their anger is directed at the status quo, particularly President Hassan Rouhani and the clerical establishment who have shown no sign of following through on initiatives to fight government corruption and improve the economy. The turmoil is also unfolding in the midst of a looming succession crisis given the Supreme Leader’s continued ill health.
Economic hardship and the Iran nuclear deal are at the center of the current protests. Iranians are struggling with inflation costs on basic goods, and high unemployment rates have led many to question the integrity of government leaders and the elite in the Islamic Republic. In trying to appease Iranians, Rouhani has maintained the economic situation will improve once a resolution is reached on the Iran nuclear deal and sanctions are lifted. The talks, however, are at a standstill. How will President Rouhani quell the anger and dissatisfaction fueling widespread protests and to what extent will economic situations change for the better? Considering the stasis of the Iran nuclear agreement, at what point will Iran’s leaders and the US return to the negotiating table?
Dr. Abbas Milani is the Hamid & Christina Moghadam Director of Iranian Studies and Adjunct Professor at the Center on Democracy, Development and Rule of Law at the Freeman Spogli Institute at Stanford University. He will join us for a discussion on the recent unrest in Iran and provide insight into possible resolutions to the economic disparity.

I am a fan of all Dr. Milani's research. However, I also have questions and concerns that I like to Ask Mr. Millani. It is not a bad idea if there we can have access to an email.
The US foreign policy is in such a mish-mash.
Iran has never threatened Israel militarily, only by democratically ballot means.
pari saneie marg bar Israel is not threatening??? Threatening to drive Israel and the Zionist into the sea is not threatening militarily threatening to shoot a hundred thousand rockets at Tel Aviv in one shot is not threatening Israel militarily which planet do you live on
Abbas Milani used to be a communist during the Shah time !

Shame on you
Iran has the right to arrest people without hejab, as hejab is the LAW of the country.
But the penalty must be proportional.
