Why Peace in Iran Isn’t a Done Deal; Will American Pessimism Affect the Midterms?

from Here's the Scoop · host Yasmin Vossoughian, Jon Allen, Vicky Nguyen

The U.S. and Iran have reached an agreement that would end fighting and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But Israel isn’t part of this potential deal and the ongoing conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon could threaten negotiations. Aaron David Miller, former State Department Middle East negotiator under Republican and Democratic administrations, breaks down the obstacles that remain for long-term peace. Then, a new NBC News poll shows that Americans are more pessimistic than ever about the country’s future. NBC News Senior National Politics Reporter Jon Allen analyzes what that could mean as primary season draws to a close. Plus, Vicky Nguyen, NBC News anchor and chief consumer investigative correspondent, explains whether changes to the social gaming platform Roblox will actually protect kids.
