I joined DW News on Saturday for a 27-minute analysis of the Trump Administration’s indecision over a framework deal to end the US-Israel War on Iran.

Siavush Randjbar-Daemi of the University of St. Andrews and I evaluate how Donald Trump has misrepresented the proposal, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, as he has repeatedly pledged it was imminent and then stepped away.

We consider the specific issues, such as arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz, the gradual lifting of US sanctions and unfreezing of Iranian assets, and Tehran’s nuclear program.

We assess the domestic situation inside Iran as well as the US.

And we look at the consequences, with a realignment of the region and beyond. Has Trump ended the US presence at the center?
