Iran: If the war is over...who won?
About this episode
The episode discusses the recent Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Iran and explores the implications of the conflict's resolution.
Two weeks ago a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Americans and the Iranians aiming at ending a bomb, missile-and-drone conflict that has lasted four months. Victory has been claimed by everyone and on behalf of everyone. So is the US/Israeli/Iranian war effectively over bar the seemingly inevitable bombast? If so did anyone win? On what terms? And where does it leave the rest of us? Guests: Shashank Joshi, The Economist’s Washington bureau chief Ali Vaez, Project Director, Iran at the Crisis Group in Washington DC Suzanne Maloney, VP and director of the Foreign Policy programme at the Brookings Institution Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Ben Carter and Kirsteen Knight Editor: Richard Vadon Sound engineer: Neil Churchill Production co-ordinator: Siobhan Reed
