In the wake of the US's assassination of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, many are asking – will Iran actually see regime change, as President Donald Trump has called for? What would that take? And is the real goal to engineer a civil war inside of Iran and leave it as a failed state?

In this 'Mehdi Unfiltered' interview, Mehdi gets straight down to the facts with one of the top Iranian-affairs experts, Ali Vaez – who serves as the International Crisis Group's Iran Project Director. Vaez breaks down how the country's leadership is handling this crisis and why he worries the US and Israel's war on Iran may bring the country to state collapse.
