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.
