Three Americans were kidnapped in Baghdad the day the nuclear deal with Iran was made official. America’s embassy in Iraq confirmed the kidnapping, and the only question remaining was who was behind it? One week before the Americans were captured, the United States embassy in Iraq received a tip-off that an Iran-backed Shiite militia group was planning to kidnap the Americans. U.S. officials, leery of how the plot would affect the implementation of the nuclear deal, thought Iran would call off the attack. But it didn’t. Has Iran really changed for the better after the nuclear deal? Or is it just continuing business as usual? This time, with a nice $100 billion allowance. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry looks into Iran’s latest act of belligerence and asks why the United States is allowing it to happen.
