Rising U.S.-Iran tensions in the Mideast

The Biden Administration has tried to separate its policy towards Iran’s de-facto pursuit of military Nuclear capability from the other concerns it has with Tehran’s Mideast activities, as well as the brutal suppression of domestic dissent. While a revival of the so-called JCPOA (2015 nuclear program) is officially off the table, there are ongoing efforts to craft a compromise, including primarily through Qatari mediation. At the same time, the U.S. is denouncing the Russian-Iranian axis, and minimally retaliated in Syria against an IRGC Quds Force proxy which killed an American and wounded over a dozen others.

Guests Dr. Meir Javedanfar, Iran lecturer, Reichman University, Col. (Res.) Miri Eisin, TV7 Powers-in-Play Panelist, Israeli Public Diplomacy, Security, Intelligence Expert at ICT, the Reichman University, and Amir Oren.
