The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 13, 2015

But discrepancies between the two versions are causing some to question whether the terms got lost in translation.

Rob Litwak, Vice President of Scholars at the Woodrow Wilson Center and former director of nonproliferation in the National Security Council of President Clinton, talks about the differences between the English and Farsi texts.
