A Reporter's Perspective on Iran

Today on KIRO/Seattle, I got some perspective on what's happening in Iran from Robin Wright, the former Washington Post correspondent who has been to that nation many times in the more than three decades she has spent covering the middle east.

We talked about the historical nature of some of the protests this weekend (particularly those that were openly defiant to Supreme Leader Khamenei), how the demographics of Iran are affecting its present and future, what happens next in US/Iran relations, and whether Moussavi would really be the reformer some are painting him to be.

Wright's latest book is "Dreams and Shadows: The Future of the Middle East."
