	Description:		The protests that have been spreading across Iran now, for weeks, have been growing more violent. Video footage and eye witnesses described security forces opening fire on protesters, while reports from human rights agencies say the death toll is in the hundreds. But could these protests tip over into a counter-revolution? Might Iran’s brutal supreme leader, Ayotollah Ali Khamenei, and his regime, be overthrown? Kylie Moore-Gilbert, an Australian middle eastern scholar, spent 804 days in an Iranian prison, before being released in 2020. Today, she discusses how this uprising differs from previous ones in Iran. And what it will take, for the Iranian regime to fall.
