On Friday morning the Trump administration announced new sanctions on Iran, in response to Iran’s test launch of a missile on Sunday and after a week of tense back-and-forth comments between the two countries. We discuss the state of U.S.-Iran relations under President Trump and the fate of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

Guests:

Abbas Milani, director of Iranian studies, Stanford University; author, "The Shah"
