Summary
With two U.S. carrier strike groups converging on Iran and a presidential deadline looming, the clock is ticking. In this urgent episode of Intel at the Edge, host Chip Usher — Senior Director for Intelligence at the Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP) — sits down with Norman Roule, former National Intelligence Manager for Iran at ODNI, to assess what may be one of the most consequential moments in U.S.-Iran relations in decades. They cover the prospect of diplomacy amidst the ongoing Geneva talks, the evolution of the Iranian regime’s domestic standing, and the broader state of regional stability in the Middle East. A veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency with over three decades of service, Norman Roule spearheaded senior operations across the Middle East before serving nearly ten years as the National Intelligence Manager for Iran at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).
