Iran: Can we Lose the Enemy?

Presented by Trita Parsi, founder of the National Iranian American Council.

US–Iran relations have been strained for decades. However, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, known commonly as the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) proved that U.S.-Iran enmity is not inevitable. The demise of the deal was not due to the deficiencies of the JCPOA or the shortcomings of diplomacy; it is the thirst for hegemony that could stand in the way of the U.S. losing Iran as an enemy.
