🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran tried to make peace with the U.S over two decades ago, and Washington left them on read.
Tehran University professor Foad Izadi explains what that silence produced, and what comes next.
"What would you do? You would use all the leverage that you have to make sure that Trump doesn't get a success."
Iran offered a huge deal in 2003, put everything on the table, and got bombed anyway. You can be sure the new Ayatollah isn't making that offer again.
