UPDATES: Trump-Iran Nuclear Talks
Amid the second round of indirect talks between Iran and the Trump Administration over Tehran’s nuclear program, I joined India’s WION to discuss the state of the negotiations and Israeli threats of strikes against Iranian nuclear sites.
I describe the context for the Israeli plans, with the possibility that strikes will be launched as soon as talks break down, and the muddled approach of the Trump Administration to the discussions.
Israel is pushing back against Donald Trump’s slapping down of Benjamin Netanyahu: “We can go ahead with the military attacks without American support.”
They are putting the ball back into the Trump Administration’s court.
