Back to EpisodesUS-Iran Ceasefire Talks. Conflict Round 3 Is Coming
Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description
Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran break down the 18 hours of US-Iran negotiations in Geneva, where JD Vance and Steve Witkoff met with Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi and Ghalibaf in talks mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, producing a cautious framework agreement while leaving the deepest questions entirely unresolved. With neocon fury building in Washington, a contentious four and a half hour Trump-Graham meeting suggesting major behind-the-scenes pressure, and Iran maintaining its red line on Lebanon and the Strait of Hormuz, Alex and Alexander argue that the ceasefire is merely a pause before a far larger confrontation.
