On the radar: Inside Iran with Karishma Vyas
Description
On this episode of Global Roaming's new 'On the Radar' series we are joined by the ABC's Asia editor, Karishma Vyas who gives us an inside track into the regime's tactics as the Iran and US peace deal is negotiated and an insight the scam centres popping up across Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia that she recently visited.
In May Karishma was one of the only Western reporters allowed to report inside Iran giving her a rare glimpse into how the regime and Iranians feel as a peace deal is negotiated.
Karishma says the regime is passing off the toll system for the ships passing the Strait of Hormuz as an 'administration fee'. Meanwhile, on the streets of Tehran she found women gathering to support the regime, the same regime that has been accused of violent suppression of its people months earlier.
So what is real and what is propaganda?
