In the seventh episode of The Arms Control Poseur podcast, host William Alberque is joined by Manuel Herrera, a researcher in the field of non-proliferation and disarmament, to discuss the complex and evolving landscape of Iran’s nuclear programme. The episode delves into critical efforts to control Iran's nuclear ambitions, such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran Nuclear Agreement. Manuel provides a detailed analysis of the current state of Iran’s nuclear programme, including its progress in uranium enrichment and the challenges following the collapse of the JCPOA.
