From Islamabad: Inside the Iran Talks, the Ceasefire, and What Comes Next | Ahmed Quraishi
About this episode
The episode features a discussion on the current state of US-Iran negotiations and the implications of a recent ceasefire.
In this episode of The Middle East Breakdown, hosts Dan Feferman and Hayvi Bouzo sit down with senior Middle East and national security analyst Ahmed Quraishi, reporting live from a locked-down Islamabad as US-Iran negotiations are hours away from beginning.Recorded on April 10th, with the 12-day ceasefire just days old and the Islamabad talks yet to start, the conversation asks the questions the rest of the media is missing: What is actually left of the Iranian regime after 39 days of strikes? Why did it survive? And is Iran capable of delivering real concessions on nuclear, missile, and proxy programs without the regime ceasing to exist?The panel examines why the Basij, not the IRGC, is the force that kept the regime alive, what the repeated strikes on Chabahar and Abadan signal about Iran's minority regions, why Pakistan's credibility is now on the line, what the Gulf states are quietly preparing for, and whether there is a new class inside the IRGC willing to make a deal.Watch, listen, and subscribe for full episodes and regional analysis.Website: mideastjournal.orgYouTube: @middleeast_24Instagram: @middleast24X: @middleeast_24Spotify: The Middle East Breakdown
