it's what i call the khomeini doctrine. he believes that when your population is rising up, you should never back down, you should never take a step back, because that's not going to pacify -- >> it sounds like what the shah was thinking in 1979. >> that was one of his key takeaways, you never back down. and he believes that the soviet union collapsed because gorbachev tried to reform it. he's seen the arab uprisings. the only dictator who's still around is bashar assad, why? because he didn't apologize. he crushed the protesters. that's the only playbook he has. >> you know, i would love for you to explain something to our viewers who may not be well versed on persian culture, persian history. i remember after getting to congress, talking to generals who at the time, wherever they would talk about iran, would tell me, to a general would say, well, what is the most dramatic change in the world? the biggest impact in the world? they would say, if we could turn iran. and they would all talk about what an extraordinary culture

what the ayatollah khomeini did in coming up with this idea was essentially create a whole new way ofking about what s hiaism is. the upper echelon of the clergy, certainly those in government positions, this theory has become entrenched. the truth of the matter is in the seminary in iran, especially younger seminarians, mid-level clerics, the sort of what we would refer to as the local i mams, are not just debating the very legitimacy of clerical rule but are now seemingly coming out and rejecting it more and more vocally. my argument was, when you start seeing that kind of structure roll up and younger seminary students, mid-level clerics begin to speak out against the very legitimacy of the theocracy of the state, well, that might be pretty much all she wrote when it comes to the clerical regime. amy: raha bahreini, i would to specifically focus on the women-let protests and the children. you have a report that was embargoed until today on the deaths of the children. we just reported on the education minister saying they are taking some children and they putting them in institution

and if we go back to 1979, ayatollah khomeini founded iran's islamic republic, and these protests areat date back to then. listen to this bbc report at the time. there is undoubtedly genuine concern over exactly what is meant by an islamic republic. the most widely expressed fear is that it could well lead to the kind of repressive religious dictatorship that denies iran the freedoms the revolution is supposed to have brought. women had the freedom to dress as they chose before 1979, but that changed, and some want that freedom back. it's unclear where these protests are heading, but what's clear is that the relationship between the iranian government and its society is completely broken down, and there is no going back from this point on. the authorities insist all of this must stop. but there's no going back for this mother, whose son died in custody. she recently took off her hijab, declaring that the religion it stood for was killing people. one woman's death has become about many women's lives. they say there's no going back to how they used to live. ros atkins, bbc news. a long—

that's what iran supreme leader ayatollah khomeini publicly said. on monday. i say clearly that the disturbances and insecurities were designed by america in the u. surfing and faked zionist regime. the iranian ladies comments comments nationwide, protests swept the country following the death of a young woman allegedly in police custody. though i should say, there are videos that dispute that power to be said that protest is using this tragic incident as an excuse to create turmoil in iran and trust. these actions are not being staged by ordinary iranians. now iran has seen its largest and most violent protests in years with the death toll at 92, according to various human rights groups, and protested happy in hauling rocks. they've taught police cars even set fire to state buildings. or some iranian women have burned, had jobs at the rallies and even cut off their hair. and protests continued across the country over the weekend with raleigh is organized by students in the cities over at on. as for han and companies in the professor at the university of toron

the supreme leader, 83—year—old ayatollah khomeini, has said little, but he's blaming the west.neous. it's possible that the enemy used some pretext to pursue their agenda using provocative propaganda. those who back the government deny the islamic republic is at risk or even rattled. there are very few protests, the country is quiet. - we see them every day, professor. that's factually incorrect. the united states and its. allies try to undermine iran in every possible way. iran is more open than any of the, any of the i countries in this region. what we see says that these protests aren't dying down, and the government isn't backing down. mahsa amini! in london, a vigil to mark a month of defiance, to remember 22—year—old mahsa amini. her death sparked this movement. say her name, say her name! protests like this have been happening in cities across the world over the past month. what's happening now in iran, what happens next matters in many places, but the course of events inside iran will be decided there. a young generation rises against an old clerical order. it's hard to
