Newscast – Will The US Attack Iran?

Available for more than a year

Today we are discussing the indirect US-Iran talks taking place in Geneva. The talks are taking place in an environment where tensions between the two countries have increased, with the US sending what Trump calls an “armada” to the region. President Trump has threatened to strike Iran if a nuclear deal is not reached during negotiations. We also discuss President Trump’s State of the Union address; We are at a time when many Americans are frustrated with the cost of living, and the Supreme Court unbeknownst to him has struck down his tariff policy. Adam discusses all this with economics editor Faisal Islam, chief North America correspondent Gary O’Donoghue and Panorama filmmaker Jane Corbin.
