The Rachman Review: Iran’s nuclear talks...

Financial Times
About this episode

Swamp Notes is taking this weekend off so instead we wanted to share the latest episode from our fellow FT podcast, The Rachman Review.


Nuclear talks between the US and Iran began last weekend in Oman, and are set to continue in the coming weeks. President Trump has warned that if the talks fail the US could take military action against the Islamic republic – an idea that Israel's government is pressing for. In this episode, we unpack what a new nuclear deal with Iran might look like – and how it could change the geopolitical picture in the Middle East.
