'We Need To Be the Anti-War Party,' Says Iranian-American House Democrat

U.S. President Donald Trump's peace deal with Iran is hanging on by a thread, after the U.S. and Iran traded strikes against each other over the weekend. This comes as the old-guard, hawkish Democrats – including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer – have been voicing opposition to Trump's peace deal, despite the mounting toll of the war.

So will this war ever end? Are the old-guard, hawkish Democrats dragging their feet now when it comes to stopping the war on Iran? And what do actual Iranian-Americans think of the deal?

In this video, Mehdi interviews Yassamin Ansari – the first and only Iranian-American Democrat in Congress – who explains why she "hopes" this deal will mark the end of this war. She also discusses why some Democrats are trying to rally against the peace deal.
