Jason Rezaian

HARDtalk's Shaun Ley speaks to US-Iranian journalist Jason Rezaian. America says Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps "promotes terrorism as a tool of state craft". It's the first time the United States 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?
