There's war fever in Washington, the fear of war with Iran, and for many it feels like d? vu: Iran could be the next Iraq. We've seen this movie, we're told, and we know how it turns out. But have we really? And do we really know?
Two fascinating new books reveal that there's a lot more to the U.S.-Iran relationship than meets the eye, and there may be more hope for diplomacy than we think -- if the two sides can learn from a history of missed opportunities.
This hour, On Point: The U.S., Iran, and avoiding a new war in the Middle East.
