The US Treasury Department placed five Iranians, including the two men charged, under sanctions for their alleged involvement in the plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the US.
The two accused were named as Manssor Arbabsiar, a 56-year-old naturalized US citizen with dual Iranian and US passports, and Gholam Shakuri, based in Iran and said to be a member of Iran’s Quds Force, a unit of the Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Host Marco Werman speaks with Vasil Nasr, professor of international politics, about the Iran’s Quds Force.
