Iran: the dark money behind the regime's tools of repression | Business Special

The Iranian regime has been brutally cracking down on protests in the wake of the killing of 22-year-old Jina Mahsa Amini by the country's 'morality police'. But there's more to Iran's political security force behind the brutality, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, than the supression of demonstrations. It's the hub of a shadow economy, using front businesses to generate money for corrupt payoffs and even funding terrorist activities abroad.

In this edition of DW Business Special, our anchor Daniel Winter speaks with Kasra Aarabi, Iran Programme Lead at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, who gives a damning indictment of Iran's ruling elite and the lengths it will go to support its violent ideology.
