This afternoon Dan, Cheryl and myself (the LGM NatSec Gang) talked through the state of affairs in the current ceasefire between the United States and Iran. Our agenda:

  1. Where we are (quick run down of the situation as we understand it)
  2. Weirdness of a cease-fire that allows both sides to pretend they aren’t at war when they’re both committing acts of war
  3. Leadership incoherence on both sides (can include firing of Phelan et al here)
  4. The state of diplomatic negotiations (unprofessionalism, JCPOA redux, Vance/Witkoff/Kush, etc.)
  5. What’s next? Is there any way out of this?

We recorded two hours ago so things are relatively fresh!

Transcript is here.
