In this engaging discussion, Peter Harrell, an attorney and sanctions expert, and Richard Nephew, a senior research scholar focused on sanctions and energy policy, dive into the complexities of the Iran nuclear agreement and recent U.S. actions. They explore the implications of the Trump administration's withdrawal, the impact on Russian and European companies, and Iran's nuclear enrichment timeline. The duo addresses the challenges a new administration would face in re-entering the agreement and reflects on the strategic value of sanctions in U.S. foreign policy.
