Is Trump about to invade Iran?

About this episode

Christiane and Jamie discuss the current state of US-Iran negotiations and the implications of potential military action.

Are the US and Iran engaged in real negotiations, or is this all just posturing? In this episode, Christiane and Jamie break down the current state of negotiations, and why Trump’s threats won’t work. They also look closely at the prospect of a US ground invasion: what it could involve, how realistic it is and what the consequences could be if the Iranian regime continues to resist. Jamie takes us inside the reality of diplomatic talks, revealing how negotiations unfold behind closed doors and what it would take to end the conflict.
