Robert Patman: Otago University Professor says NZ has the ability to take strong measures against Iran

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Thursdays

An international relations expert says New Zealand can be a world leader in action against Iran. A travel ban has been placed on 22 members of the Iranian security forces. It's over the death of a 22 year old Iranian woman in custody in September and the regime's violent response to protest more generally. Otago University's Robert Patman says we shouldn't underestimate Jacinda Ardern and her raised international profile. He says we have the ability to take strong measures despite many here thinking we aren't big enough. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
