Is Trump giving Iran's regime a lifeline? Eye for Iran 105

from Eye For Iran

Is a new US-Iran deal on the horizon—or is Tehran being thrown a lifeline at one of the most vulnerable moments in its history?As reports of renewed negotiations intensify, major questions remain. Is the Islamic Republic negotiating from a position of weakness or strength? Has Iran emerged damaged by war and economic pressure, or can its leadership still claim victory?Host Negar Mojtahedi is joined by former US Treasury official, FDD research fellow and former CENTCOM official Miad Maleki, alongside former Canadian government official, University of Ottawa professor and Chatham House associate fellow Thomas Juneau, to debate the state of the negotiations, Iran’s vulnerabilities, and what a deal could mean for the future of the Islamic Republic.Then, foreign policy commentator Mohamed Amersi joins Eye for Iran with a rare perspective from someone who regularly engages with Iranian officials, as well as Chinese, Russian, Arab and Western policymakers. He shares what he is hearing behind the scenes and why Tehran’s leadership may view the current moment very differently from many analysts in Washington.Finally, investigative reporter Jay Solomon of The Free Press and security expert Roger Macmillan examine allegations that Iran-linked proxy networks are expanding beyond the Middle East. From Europe to North America, they discuss growing security concerns, recruitment tactics, and what Western governments are doing to respond.In this episode:• Is a US-Iran deal getting closer?• Has the Islamic Republic been weakened by war and sanctions?• What is Tehran’s leadership really thinking behind closed doors?• Could a deal help the regime survive?• What role are China, Russia and Gulf states playing?• Are Iran-linked proxy networks expanding into Europe and North America?• What are the implications for Western security and Jewish communities?Chapters:00:02:04:18 - 00:40:31:14 Is Trump Giving Iran's Regime a Lifeline?00:40:34:14 - 01:17:46:17 Inside Tehran: What are Islamic Republic Really Thinking01:17:49:10 - 01:42:56:23 Iran's Proxy Network Goes Global#iran #trump #israel #irannucleardeal #middleeast #shorts #youtube #podcast #news Miyad Maleki and Thomas Juneau debate the potential US-Iran deal, whether Tehran is negotiating from weakness, and what any agreement could mean for the future of the Islamic Republic.
