When the Iranian nuclear deal was signed two years ago in the summer of 2015, President Obama hailed the deal as preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, as a victory for multilateral diplomacy. The deal is technically still in effect, but it’s under siege by President Trump, who’s eager to find evidence of Iranian non-compliance. Will the Iran deal survive President Trump? What happens to the U.S., to Iran if the deal implodes? To help us answer those questions are: Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council and author of “Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy.” Suzanne Maloney, deputy director of the foreign policy program at the Brookings Institution. Kelsey Davenport, director of nonproliferation policy at the Arms Control Association If you enjoy this discussion, please follow us on Twitter @WakeOnAir. To share feedback with us, send us an email to wake@talkmedianews.com.
