Iran, war, and the cost of American certainty

The U.S. and Israel are at war with Iran. The supreme leader is dead, a region is destabilizing, and Congress never voted on any of it. President Trump says Iranians are getting their freedom. But who actually speaks for 92 million people — and what happens when the United States decides it already knows the answer?

Saeed Khan, associate professor of Near Eastern Studies at Wayne State University, joins Robyn Vincent to discuss the history that the U.S. tends to ignore and the costs of reducing Iran to a single story.
