EL-Sayed on Iran's Nuclear Threat and US Policy Debate

During a debate, El-Sayed and Mike Rogers discuss the war with Iran and its implications for U.S. national security. Dr. El-Sayed argues that the threat posed by Iran was contained during the Obama administration through diplomacy, specifically the JCPOA agreement, which Donald Trump later withdrew from. He criticizes the decision to make war, noting the economic costs to Americans, such as higher gas and grocery prices. Rogers, on the other hand, asserts that Iran remains a significant threat, capable of developing a nuclear weapon and funding terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. He emphasizes the importance of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear capabilities and criticizes those who oppose the war without considering its broader consequences.
