An Iranian journalist, Kian Amani, was filming a live segment outside of the Millennium Hilton Hotel in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday afternoon. That’s when he was approached and threatened by an Iranian security official. Then on Wednesday evening, a more contentious altercation took place with the same journalist outside of the same hotel. The World’s Carol Hills tells the story.
