Episode Notes:

Since President Biden entered office, there has been considerable speculation on whether he will succeed in reviving the Iran nuclear deal. Over the past several months, previous Warcast guests have explained how a host of incidents, from missile attacks in Iraq to naval standoffs in the Persian Gulf, could derail Biden’s plans.

 

Joining us today to discuss the current state of negotiations and the possible future of the Iran deal is Henry Rome. Henry is a senior analyst at Eurasia Group focusing on Iran, Israel, and global macro issues. He has previously worked at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School and reported for The Jerusalem Post.
