Has Iran gained the upper hand through negotiation (and memes)?
About this episode
The episode discusses how Iran has managed to influence the narrative around US negotiations without direct participation, particularly through the use of memes.
We explore US president Donald Trump’s ceasefire extension and how Iran has seemingly managed to control much of the narrative without even attending talks in Islamabad – and also through an extraordinary amount of memes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
