June 22, 2009 : Hart: No Backing Down in Iran
Neither side in the Iranian confrontation over recent presidential elections is going to back down, Institute Adjunct Professor Jo-Anne Hart said during a Saturday WPRO broadcast. Protestors “are not going to pack it in,” she said, and the government is not going to accept change. “It could get very bad there; we’ll have to hope for the best for Iranians,” she said on WPRO Saturday Morning News with Steve Klamkin.
Areas of Interest: Middle East, Iran, US policy and strategy in the Persian Gulf, technology and education, and women and politics.
