## Resource

Professor Scott Lucas joins Maddie Hale to analyse the latest developments in US-Iran negotiations to end the war — including whether Trump is now moving toward a deal structurally similar to Obama’s 2015 agreement, why Gulf states are resisting his push for a broader anti-Iran alliance, and growing Republican tensions over the cost of the conflict and Trump’s expanding use of presidential power.  Hosted on Acast.
