On this week’s Insider our panelists share what they know about America’s peace deal with Iran.
Instead of the minutiae of a vague and flimsy agreement, they discuss more weighty—and more interesting—questions about the Middle East and its future
This is the dawn of a bright new era for the Middle East. So says President Donald Trump. His deal is meant to end America’s war with Iran and usher in a region transformed where “a lot of great things” will happen and “peace and security” will prevail. At first glance, the regional landscape the war leaves behind looks much as it did before. Look closer and most of the changes it has brought have been for the worse. Iran has emerged emboldened; Israel and America are at odds; and the Gulf states are scrambling to rebuild their economic, diplomatic and security models for a harsh new regional reality.
Join Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief, Edward Carr, deputy editor, and a trio of The Economist’s Middle East experts as they assess how profoundly the conflict has reshaped the region and what its fragile future might hold.
