Ex-Nuclear Negotiator on U.S.-Iran Talks, Abraham Accords & Trump's Threat to Blow Up Oman
by webdev@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#75Y71)

Nearly two months after the United States and Iran agreed to a ceasefire, are the two sides any closer to a lasting peace deal?
We speak with Robert Malley, the Middle East program director at the International Crisis Group, who worked in multiple Democratic administrations and helped negotiate the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal with Iran. He says Trump's decision to pull the U.S. out of that deal in 2018 was a completely reckless and absurd one," with the Trump administration renegotiating many of the same issues, as well as pushing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran did not previously control. We should never have been in the position we're in now."
