Civil War in Iran Would Be 'Tenfold as Deadly' as Syria, Journalist Explains

15 months ago, Syria finally saw an end to the nearly 14 years of civil war after the ousting of Syrian Dictator Bashar Al-Assad.

Now, as the US and Israel's war on neighboring Iran only escalates while they continue calls for Iranian civilians to "take over" their government, the question remains: could a Western-backed, civilian-led uprising come to fruition in Iran? And how much more difficult would regime change be there versus a country like Syria?

Who better to ask than Middle East journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Anand Gopal – whose newest book, Days of Love and Rage, reports in-depth on Syria's civil war. In this 'Mehdi Unfiltered' interview, Gopal explains to Mehdi which lessons from Syria's civil war are relevant for Iran today.
