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.

Mehdi speaks to Labour MP Naz Shah about her journey to politics, Keir Starmer's failures as a leader, and how Gaza is weighing down on voters. They also discuss the release of her memoir, 'Honoured: Survival, Strength, and My Path to Politics', and what led her to public service.
From a violent upbringing to her mother's imprisonment to her rise in politics, Naz Shah details how her experiences have shaped her to be a human-centered politician despite the rise in political violence and division across the U.S. and the UK. Shah also discusses the Islamophobia she's faced in office and the Labour Party's complicity in the Gaza genocide and more.
