How Iranian military exercises, mass protests are connected to U.S. sanctions

While the United States keeps up its maximum pressure campaign on Iran, tensions are building within Iran as mass protests there continue to grow. Meanwhile, for the first time, Iran is engaged in joint naval exercises with both Russia and China simultaneously. Amna Nawaz talks to Rand Corporation’s Ariane Tabatabai about how these events are connected to U.S. withdrawal from the nuclear treaty.
