U.S.-Iran talks at impasse over nuclear program and Strait of Hormuz

About this episode

The episode discusses the stalled U.S.-Iran negotiations over the nuclear program and the recent escalation of violence in Lebanon due to Israeli attacks.

The U.S. said it's discussing a new Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz but pause all negotiations over Iran's nuclear program. Meanwhile, Lebanon marked the deadliest day since the fraying ceasefire in that country went into effect as Israeli attacks killed more than a dozen in the south. Nick Schifrin reports.
