How desperate is Iran for a deal with the US?
With a battered economy and a restless population, Iran is as desperate as the United States to come together, Johns Hopkins University Professor Vali Nasr argues.
Nasr told host Steve Clemons that US President Donald Trump's administration is eager to reach an arms control deal with Iran, and Iran is eager to grow economically. 'Both of them have arrived, after 40 some years, at a juncture where they need to change the direction of their relationship,' Nasr said.
Join the conversation on Nasr's latest book, Iran's Grand Strategy: A Political History, which explains how Iran's anti-Americanism 'is not ideological or theological'.

The Golan: A Battle For Power
A battle over land, natural resources and wind energy in the occupied Golan Heights – a microcosm of the wider Arab-Israeli conflict. This documentary is about a group of Syrian fruit farmers taking on an Israeli energy company over the right to build wind turbines on land they've been farming for several centuries. The farmers are Syrian Druze from the northern Golan, which has been illegally occupied by Israel since the June 1967 War. The Druze object to what they see as a social and environmental threat to their community – and what they also see as an Israeli attempt to build permanent infrastructure on illegally occupied land, in violation of international law. This is a powerful story in which global politics and a simple farming way of life collide, creating a standoff that resonates beyond the fruit orchards of the Golan Heights.
