Iran | Mahsa Amini anniversary: Underground protesters tell how they are waging war against Iranian regime

A year on from the death of Mahsa Amini, members of an underground network of protesters belonging to a grassroots revolutionary group called "United youth of Iran's neighbourhood" have told Sky News how they are waging a war against the Iranian regime.
