Andrew Urquhart sits down with political commentator Simon O'Connor, Iranian-born civil liberties advocate Arian Tashakkori, and commentator Brendan Malone to appraise the wins, losses, and the chances of enduring peace following the US-Iran memorandum of understanding. With sanctions set to be lifted but a Supreme Leader still in power and the nuclear standoff unresolved, the guests weigh in on whether this was truly a just war.
