Iran Update

AirTalk for December 20, 2005

Since the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, took office in June, the country’s nuclear program has accelerated. Last week, the same President said the holocaust is a myth, and that Israel should be wiped off the map. Now, the Iranian government has banned Western music. What is happening in Iran politically, culturally, religiously to embolden its leadership, and what kind of intervention would be most effective? Larry talks with Scott Peterson, Christian Science Monitor Correspondent, Najm Meshkati, Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at USC, and Abbas Milani, Research Fellow and co-director of the Iran Democracy Project at the Hoover Institution, and Director of the Iranian Studies Program at Stanford University.
