The History of Iran’s Nuclear Program—With Sina Azodi

Sina Azodi, assistant professor of Middle East politics and director of the Middle East Studies program at George Washington University, returns to the show to talk about Iran’s nuclear program.

The group discusses the shah’s nuclear agenda, Atoms for Peace; Iran’s signing of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty; how the Iran-Iraq War influenced Iran’s nuclear policy; missed opportunities for diplomacy after 9/11; Trump’s withdrawal from the JCPOA and why Biden didn’t revive the deal; and the recent war with Iran.
