A deal has been right around the corner for about two months while the entire region remains on edge. This weekend, we even saw a resumption of military strikes between Israel and Iran, making it seem like a return to war might happen before an actual peace deal.
To better understand this situation, we’re joined today by Jonathan Hackett. Jonathan is a retired U.S. Marine interrogator, counterintelligence agent, and special operations intelligence officer and he recently authored a book titled “Iran’s Shadow Weapons” where he dives into how the Iranian regime is driven by a mixture of paranoid, greed and cold rationality.
