About this episode

Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani discusses calls for avenging the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the implications for Iranian policy.

In an interview with The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal, Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani addresses the public calls for avenging the US-Israeli killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by holding Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu personally accountable. Does this constitute a shift in official Iranian policy, or is the Iranian government focused exclusively on conventional warfare as the US imposes a new phase of conflict on the country?
