Iranian Man Shares Experience of Protest Crackdown

Following mass protests in Iran that began in December, the government implemented a nationwide internet blackout. A man, fearing for his life, described to CBS News a brutal crackdown on January 9 in Yazd, where government forces allegedly killed over a thousand protesters. He expressed a desire for the return of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as a transitional leader and called for U.S. intervention against the regime. The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group is now in the region amidst rising tensions.
