Iran protesters face crackdown, Trump says help 'on its way'

Season 2026 Episode 13 | 4m 27s

President Trump said the death toll “appears significant," and Western officials say at least 2,000 have been killed. That would make these protests the deadliest since the 1979 revolution, and analysts say they could threaten the regime itself. Nick Schifrin reports.
