Why Are We at War with Iran? (w/ Mehdi Hasan)

More than a week into the war with Iran, the fallout continues.. The Trump administration’s strikes have caused the deaths of more than a thousand civilians, thrown the Middle East into chaos, and led to oil and gas prices spiking globally. This week, Stacey speaks to Mehdi Hasan, founder and Editor-in-chief of Zeteo, about the motivations behind the war, the importance of independent media in covering the conflict, and what history can teach us about foreign policy consequences that play out over decades.
