## Resource

American “hardliners” opposing the US–Iran memorandum of understanding, are being accused of selectively trusting Iranian state-linked messaging while dismissing diplomatic progress. Details of the agreement remain incomplete. Vice President JD Vance is saying sanctions relief and un-freezing assets would be conditioned on Iran’s follow-through in upcoming technical talks over the next two months. Responses are mixed: hardliners inside Iran are protesting, some US and Israeli critics warn of risks, while other international leaders call the deal a potential game-changer. We will talk about it with John Rothmann. He is a presidential historian, a Middle East expert with a particular point of viewand the host of a Around the Political World with John Rothmann. Jayar Jackson, from The Young Turks, will stop by to talk politics. The conversation continues with author and political commentator Jared Yates Sexton.
