The war with Iran is showing no signs of slowing down, and thousands have been killed and injured. The Trump administration has launched the Middle East into uncertainty, and there is no one better to discuss the chaos than Kian Tajbakhsh.

Tajbakhsh is an Iranian-American scholar and democratic activist who was arrested and imprisoned by this brutal regime. Released as part of the Obama Nuclear Deal of 2015, he makes a pretty controversial argument that's going to stop you mid-sip: that the United States isn't starting a war with Iran — it's finishing one that Iran started back in 1979. This is an episode you don't want to miss.
