Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Donald Trump


EA-Times Radio VideoCast: The Week in TrumpLand — Iran, Inflation, Epstein, and the World Cup


On Sunday morning, amid uncertainty over the fate of a framework deal to end the US War on Iran, I joined Poland’s TVP World to evaluate the issues and the maneuvers by both the Iranian regime and the Trump camp.

I work through Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz; US sanctions and frozen Iranian assets abroad; Tehran’s nuclear program, and Israel’s attacks on Lebanon.

Without predicting when a first-stage deal might be concluded, I explain how Iran’s regime has not only survived but put itself in a better political position than on February 26, two days before the launch of the war.
