Iran’s turmoil shows what happens when a ’relative few’ take control of a large group

Sky News host Cory Bernardi says “one of the most befuddling of life’s riddles” is how a “relative few” are able to dictate terms for large groups. Mr Bernardi said it happened in Germany in World War II and in Iran where a “small group of Islamic hardliners” are threatening those who wish to challenge the system. “This week the tales of women killed there because they refuse to wear the hijab - or Islamic headscarf - have been horrifying,” he said. “There are reports that 76 protesters have been killed while demonstrating in support of Mahsa Amini – whose family believe she was killed by the morality police.”
