Newscast – Are US-Iran Talks Actually Happening?
Available for more than a year
Today we are trying to resolve the issue of whether Iran and the United States will meet at the negotiating table. Although President Trump previously said that the two countries were already having productive talks, Iran denied these reports. BBC Persian’s chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet and senior correspondent Parham Ghobadi explain who might be involved if talks continue and the latest we know about what’s happening in Iran. Plus, Faisal Islam joins Adam to take a deep dive into how all the uncertainty is affecting the economy. They will announce Rachel Reeves’ speech to the House of Commons today and outline the actions she may take if the situation continues to escalate.
