Jason Rezaian – Journalist Imprisoned in Tehran, 2014 - 2016
Shaun Ley speaks to American-Iranian journalist Jason Rezaian. Is the Trump administration right to see maximum pressure as the only way to affect change in Iran?
Shaun Ley speaks to American-Iranian journalist Jason Rezaian. The United States says Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps 'promotes terrorism as a tool of state craft'. It’s the first time the US has labelled another nation’s military as a terrorist organisation. Rezaian was seized from his home without warning, interrogated, tried and convicted on vague charges in Tehran. He was held for 544 days before a deal was done to release him in 2016. He is now banned from Iran for life. But is the Trump administration right to see maximum pressure as the only way to affect change in Iran?
