Earlier this month, the Biden administration reached a deal with Iran, a totalitarian Islamic regime, to release five American hostages in exchange for several jailed Iranians and the unfreezing of $6BN.

Join Onkar Ghate and Elan Journo as they discuss the meaning of this deal and the philosophic ideas shaping U.S. policy.
