Iran protests prompt government crackdown

It’s nearly one month since the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died after being hauled in by Iran’s morality police, and protesters are still in the streets. It’s the biggest threat to the regime in many years. At the frontlines are women and even schoolgirls fighting for freedom and defying strict laws on the wearing of the hijab. But these protests are also about the dire economic reality facing the country. CNN International Correspondent Jomana Karadsheh joins the show, followed by University of Tehran professor Mohammad Marandi.
