  3. Iran: The Latest Podcast
  4. Inside Iran’s spiralling economy as Yemen’s Houthis target Mecca and down Saudi jet
Saudi Arabia claimed that Yemen’s Houthis tried to attack the
holy city of Mecca, and the Iran-backed militia claims to have
shot down a Saudi F-15 fighter jet over Yemen, as fighting by the
Red Sea continues. 

On today’s episode of Iran: The Latest, Roland Oliphant speaks
with Maziar Bahari, editor of IranWire, to dive into the bleak
daily reality inside Iran. They discuss how regime corruption,
the mounting costs of war amid a maritime blockade on oil
exports, and Donald Trump’s sanctions have plunged Iran into its
most severe economic crisis in recent history.

Today also marks four years since Mahsa Amini died in police
custody after being arrested in Tehran for not wearing her hijab
properly. Bahari reveals how the regime is now quietly backing
down on core ideological mandates such as the hijab to survive.

Plus, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces impeachment
articles over unauthorised strikes on Iran, Israel is about to
get a $2.8bn arms package, and China calls on the US and Iran to
restart peace talks and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
