Friday Focus Emergency Episode: a game changing moment in the Middle East
In this emergency Friday Focus episode, Rudyard and Janice assess what the US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities means for the future of the Middle East. What are the big takeaways from this game changing moment in the region? Has Iran’s capacity to enrich uranium been permanently disabled? And finally, and perhaps most importantly, how will Iran respond? Iranians are a proud people with a culture of resistance. Its leaders believe that Trump deceived them twice. If the US President is serious about peace he needs to open backchannels to Iran immediately, rein in Israel’s regime change ambitions, and show he is committed to a deal.
