Summary

The Iranian presidential election taking place this week will have a big impact on both the ongoing nuclear talks with the United States and the political direction the Islamic Republic takes. After multiple candidates dropped out yesterday, the assumed presidential front-runner is an ultra-conservative candidate who has been sanctioned by the United States for human rights abuses and is known to distrust the West. FOX's Trey Yingst speaks with Kasra Aarabi, of the Tony Blair Institute, who says to be prepared for a more aggressive Iran following this election and a possible shake-up in the nuclear talks.
