Dr. Mehrdad Kia on Montana Talks [FULL AUDIO]

Was this an "act of war" or an act to stop war? Are critics of President Trump fueling propaganda efforts for the Islamofascist regime in Tehran? What do the people of Iran actually think about the takedown of Iranian terror leader Qassem Soleimani?

We talked about all that and more with The University of Montana's Dr. Mehrdad Kia- who grew up in Iran and heads up the university's Central and Southwest Asian Studies program. Dr. Kia joined us on Monday's "Montana Talks" statewide radio show with Aaron Flint.
