Summary
A new deal between Iran and the United States to stop the fighting and negotiate is not even signed yet, but the US president insists the Strait of Hormuz is set to open. Donald Trump has declared ‘let the oil flow’, even though the memorandum of understanding won’t be signed until Friday in Switzerland. But what did the United States have to give Iran to secure the ceasefire agreement and is it any better that Obama’s deal with Iran? Today, international relations expert Rajan Menon on whether the ceasefire can hold given Israel’s strikes in Lebanon. Featured: Rajon Menon, professor emeritus of international relations at the City College New York and a senior research scholar at Columbia University’s Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies.
