Reza Aslan and Patrick Bet-David go head-to-head in a heated debate over U.S. foreign policy, the Iran nuclear deal, and whether decades of sanctions have helped or hurt the Iranian people. Patrick argues for a “third option” beyond war or diplomacy, but Reza isn’t buying it—breaking down why sanctions have failed for 40 years and why negotiation is the only realistic alternative. Things get even more intense when they tackle the $150 billion claim—Patrick says the U.S. handed Iran the money, but Reza fires back, clarifying that it was Iran’s own frozen assets. Who’s making the stronger case here?
