Summary

On the latest episode of Secrets & Spies, Chris and Matt analyse the U.S.-Iran memorandum signed by President Trump in Versailles, examining sanctions relief, frozen Iranian assets, the Strait of Hormuz, the future of the Iran nuclear deal, and why claims of a diplomatic breakthrough may be premature. They also explore how the conflict may have strengthened the Islamic Republic under the emerging influence of Mojtaba Khamenei, before unpacking reports that the Pentagon has designated Israel a critical counterintelligence threat amid renewed concerns over espionage between allies.
