The US-Iran Agreement: Breakthrough or Bluff?
About this episode
Four months of fighting between America and Iran has led to this: a one-and-a-half-page agreement. But what does it actually mean?
The details are sparse, but the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened, the US blockade will end and in the next 60 days there will be negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme.
Trump says Iran can never have a nuclear weapon - will Iran agree?
This week, Yalda is joined by Ali Vaez, the Iran project director at the International Crisis Group. He was involved in the negotiations that led to the 2015 nuclear deal and is a nuclear scientist.
He talks to Yalda about what the next 60 days could bring and why he thinks this war may have actually encouraged Iran to develop its nuclear programme quicker.
