Episode Notes:

As reports suggest that the United States might help arm Iranian Kurds based in Iraq and encourage their secessionist movement, Albert Wolf argued that the idea could easily backfire — potentially inflaming Persian nationalism and handing the Iranian regime a tool to retain power. Kerry talks with Albert about Iran's Kurdish and Balochi secessionist movements and implications for Iran's neighboring states. Albert is a global fellow at Habib University in Karachi.
