Why the US Suddenly Shifted on Iran

For context we recorded this at 9am Central on Friday June 19th.One week ago the US stance was zero nuclear enrichment for Iran, they had to hand over all of their highly enriched uranium and the ballistic missile program had to be destroyed.Today, President Trump has said that only fair that Iran keeps their missiles, that we’re in no rush to get the highly enriched uranium and future enrichment is ok for civilian purposes.That is a dramatic change in a very short period of time so if you’re confused, just know that so am I.To help us unpack what exactly is happening here, we’re joined today by Ambassador Daniel Shapiro.Dan served as the US Ambassador to Israel from 2011 to 2017, and spent time working in the Pentagon, at the State Department on the National Security Council and Capital Hill.Ambassador Shapiro on X: https://x.com/DanielBShapiroStore: https://prestonstew.shop/Join the community on Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/prestonstew_TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@prestonstewInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/prestonstew_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Preston-Stewart/61584740132063/Unclassified Podcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4YmaFZihykI0iov9XgQ0uD?si=efe0b3bd89b6421dYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnclassifiedPodContact: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
