Director's Cut: Dr Iraj Abedian — Pretoria on wrong side of history as Iran crisis enters decisive weeks

Iran-born economist Iraj Abedian tells BizNews the Iranian regime’s confrontation with the West was inevitable, arguing Pretoria has badly misjudged events by aligning itself with a dictatorship accused of massacring its own people. He says the next three to five weeks will be critical for Iran, the Middle East and the global economy, with major implications for oil, BRICS and South Africa’s foreign policy.
