from Bloomberg Talks · host Bloomberg

Negotiations between Washington and Tehran are bogged down over the fate of billions of dollars of frozen Iranian assets and a parallel conflict between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. Former US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin joins Bloomberg's London Bureau Chief Ruth David on Monday at the HSBC Gulf Cooperation Council Exchanges Conference in London to discuss the Iran War as well as other global geopolitical conflicts impacting the US.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
