Liz Truss sits down with Jonathan Schanzer of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) to discuss the rapidly evolving situation in Iran, the future of the Iranian regime, Israel's security concerns, and Donald Trump's controversial memorandum of understanding with Tehran.
Has the West secured peace, or handed Iran billions of dollars that could strengthen its military, nuclear ambitions and regional proxies?
Jonathan Schanzer explains why many national security experts are deeply concerned about the agreement, what it means for Israel, whether Iran can be trusted to honour its commitments, and whether the Iranian people could eventually challenge the regime from within.
The discussion also explores the role of China and Russia, the future of the Middle East, the Strait of Hormuz, nuclear proliferation, and the geopolitical consequences of any deal between Washington and Tehran.
