## Resource

It looks like President Trump may finally have reached a peace deal that will put an end to the war in Iran, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a war that never should have started to begin with. Matt Kibbe is joined by Joe Kent, former director of counterterrorism for the Trump administration, to discuss why Americans were led to believe that Iran was an existential threat that needed to be dealt with immediately, when in fact the war was never in America’s interests.
