Report: Israeli security firm tried to discredit Iran deal

Season 2018 Episode 156 | 5m 17s

Nearly three years since the Iran deal was sealed, The Guardian reports that top Obama White House national security officials Ben Rhodes and Colin Kahl were the targets of elaborate efforts to delegitimize the agreement. An Israeli private intelligence firm allegedly tried to dig up information that might discredit the men. John Yang learns more from Julian Borger of The Guardian.
