Episode Notes:

Two days ago, Iran reached an agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency to allow for continued monitoring of its nuclear facilities. Yet despite this, the future of the Iran nuclear deal remains very much up in the air.

He has previously worked at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School and reported for the Jerusalem Post.
