Description

Jason Rezaian, a Washington Post reporter who was imprisoned in Iran for over a year, joins Court Accountability Action’s MacKenZie Rumage to talk about the death of Ayatollah Khamanei, and the outbreak of war with Iran. Jason and MacKenZie talk about how Iranians have reacted, whether they can trust President Trump to put their needs first, and what may come next for the country. Jason, the Director of the Press Freedom Initiatives for the Post, also talks about what he sees as threats to the fourth estate both at home and abroad.

Iran trust Trump? Americans can't trust Trump! There's no legitimate reason for this war! It's illegal & unconstitutional!

America isn't even a legitimate democracy - who the hell are they to demand that others rise to a standard that they can't even meet???

My doctors in California were brothers from Iran. Wonderful, gracious, generous people. I miss them so! I can't imagine how this effects them.

The same rules should apply to Israel and the US. They are all running amuck!

I would think that no American would be safe in Iran after this.

Thank you! It is so unhelpful that we are barraged with extreme rhetoric instead of your clear calm discussion.
