New Iranian President Brings 'Resurgence Of Hope' For Some

Reporting from inside Iran has been very difficult for Western reporters over the last several years. The disputed 2009 elections triggered massive anti-government protests. In response, Iran cracked down hard on protesters, and clamped down tightly on journalists' access. That has begun to change with Iran's newly elected president, Hassan Rouhani.

Peterson speaks with host Arun Rath about his trip.
