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'.
