This week, Assal Rad, senior research fellow a the National Iranian American Council, joins us to talk about why the JCPOA (Iran nuke deal) talks have faltered, if not killed completely by a lack of interest, Washington politics, and no effort taken by the Biden administration to put down the whip and admit the US was wrong to get out of it in the first place. We also discuss the limits of sanctions as a tool of warfare. In the intro segment, Kelley and Dan talk about members of Congress who are literally begging to give the president more war powers to attack China.
