Published: Feb. 2, 2021, 12:01 a.m.

In this podcast from Stratfor, a RANE company, Emily Donahue speaks to Stratfor’s Senior Global analyst, Matthew Bey and Senior Middle East and North Africa analyst, Emily Hawthorne. The topic: the relationship between the U.S. and Iran. The relationship between the two countries grew more complicated during the Trump administration. The US withdrew from the JCPOA. Iran became more aggressive in the gulf. And not long ago, Iran passed a bill expanding its nuclear program - a tactical move to push the US into lifting crippling sanctions. Bey and Hawthorne break down different scenarios that might have to happen for the two to come to terms on Iran's nuclear program.
