For the second time in a week, protesters have taken over Iraq's parliament in a show of support for influential Shia leader Muqtada al Sadr.
On Saturday, thousands of people stormed the building in Baghdad.
They've vowed to stay put until their demands are met -- escalating a political standoff.
But what if those demands aren't met?
And what role does Iran play in Iraqi politics?
Presenter: Mohammed Jamjoom
Guests:
Zeidon Alkinani, non-resident fellow at the Arab Center Washington DC
Marsin Alshamary, research fellow at Harvard Kennedy School's Middle East Initiative
Hamed Mousavi, professor of political science at the University of Tehran
