'Are You Pleased He's Dead?' Piers Morgan Grills Mehdi Hasan on Iran Ayatollah | Plus

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 09:32:41 +0000

For those who instinctively oppose war on the grounds of economic cost and, far more importantly, the cost in human lives, there is a lot to be frustrated about right now.

Plus it’s hard to see how Iranian protesters or the wider region will benefit at all from regime change when, at this point, they haven’t even changed the Ayatollah’s name.

President Trump is yet to explain what exactly happened to his firm stance against war. If his legacy-defining gamble on Iran does not pay off - if the new Iran is much like the old Iran - his successors could pay a huge political price.

To discuss the situation in Iran, Piers Morgan is joined by Zeteo’s Editor-in-Chief Mehdi Hasan.

Piers is also joined by Iranian-American actor Sam Asghari, who gives his insight into life in Iran and how the people there have reacted to the death of the Ayatollah - plus he touches upon the recent troubles blighting his ex wife Britney Spears.
