About this episode

The Iran war has shifted power to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, creating a much more militarized state. Ali Vaez, the Iran Project Director for the Crisis Group, who was part of the negotiating team for the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal, explains how this, coupled with US President Donald Trump's rhetoric, is complicating this “high-stakes game of chicken.”
