Fault Lines Episode 440: U-Turns and Uncertainty – The Trump Administration’s Iran Dilemma
Today, Martha, Les, Andy, and Jess unpack the Trump administration’s latest mixed signals on Iran. After U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff publicly suggested the U.S. might accept uranium enrichment at levels allowed under the JCPOA, the statement was quickly walked back—raising major questions about whether the administration has a coherent strategy for talks with Tehran.
What is the Trump administration’s actual position on Iran’s nuclear program? Is Witkoff—despite his lack of diplomatic experience—shaping U.S. foreign policy by default? Can the U.S. pursue negotiations without clear parameters, or should it return to a maximum pressure campaign?
Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.
