Local Iranian activist unpacks mixed feelings about war

Israel and Iran continued to trade airstrikes Tuesday, four days into a war that U.S. President Donald Trump would last several weeks but perhaps longer.

Iranians in San Diego are grappling with mixed emotions as they celebrate the death of Ayotallah Ali Khamenei while processing what may come next.

On Midday Edition, we sit down with one Iranian organizer who helps us put this week's events in historical context.

We also talk about his hopes for Iran moving forward.

Guest:

• Shahram Homayounfar, organizer with the Coalition for Democracy and Human Rights in Iran
