Why Sanctions on Iran 'Snapped Back'
Bonus Episode - Season 2, Episode 10
Listen to This Episode
Last week, the host of The Sanctions Age, Esfandyar Batmanghelidj, was interviewed by Derek Davison for an episode of American Prestige, a podcast that takes a comprehensive look at American foreign policy and international affairs.
Derek and Esfandyar discussed the death of the Iran nuclear deal, which died last week after the triggering of the “snapback” mechanism and the reimposition of UN sanctions. They delved into Europe’s decision to pursue snapback and the factors that lead to the unravelling of the nuclear deal, including Trump’s withdrawal from the agreement, Biden’s hesitation to reenter it, and Iran’s deepening ties with Russia and China. Derek and Esfandyar also examined how the nuclear deal’s collapse represents a wider breakdown in the international order now underway.
Originally released as exclusive content for American Prestige subscribers, Derek has kindly allowed this conversation to be shared as a bonus episode of The Sanctions Age.
The Sanctions Age is produced by Spiritland Productions.
