The Point: What you read on Iran-U.S. may not be true

This week's topic: U.S. and Iran. Tensions sparked between the two when the U.S. killed Iran's powerful military commander, Major General Qasem Soleimani in a drone strike near Iraq's Baghdad International Airport. To justify the strike, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed Soleimani was planning attacks on U.S. forces and that the action was taken "to stop a war." The situation between Iran and the U.S. is complicated and quickly changing, so we all have to be vigilant about what we read.

Guests: Li Guofu, senior research fellow China Institute of International Studies; Bakhshali Bayramloo, a political analyst from Iran; Dr. Tang Zhichao, director of Politics Studies from the Institute of West Asian and African Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
