Foreign Entanglements
Matthew Duss (Center for American Progress, ThinkProgress) and Meir Javedanfar (The Guardian, The Nuclear Sphinx of Tehran)
On Foreign Entanglements, Matt and Meir discuss the new IAEA report on Iran's nuclear program. Meir is concerned that war with Iran has become an identity issue for some Americans. Turning to the recent Non-Aligned Movement conference in Tehran, they discuss the surprising roles of Ban Ki-Moon and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. Matt argues that Obama's strategy of diplomatic engagement at the UN has been vindicated. Is Israel or the US ever likely to bomb Iran? Matt worries that the tension between US and Israeli red lines increases the risk of war.
