Apple News Today · Powell’s stunning rebuke to Trump as DOJ launches criminal probe · 12 Jan 2026 podcast

Across the board, this country of 85 million people is feeling it.

That's in part due to mismanagement by the government, and that's in part due to international sanctions broadly over Iran's contested nuclear program.

Now, as these protests started in Tehran, they soon spread to other cities, and Iran

Over time, they grew more into a challenge directly to Iran's theocracy.

We've heard people chanting slogans against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, people demanding a change in the system, people demanding revolution even, which these are things that typically bring a death sentence.

Ultimately, in Iran, the power structure rests on the shoulders of one person, and that's Iran's 86-year-old supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Everything that he's done in the decades since he's been supreme leader suggests that open negotiation with the United States likely would never happen with him in power.

He's much more willing to use force.

And the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro has raised concern that maybe Trump could do the same or do a targeted leadership strike or conduct any sort of military strike in Iran to back the protesters.

So for the Iranians, there's a great deal of uncertainty right now.

And that's probably the thing that's worrying them the most.
