On a day that felt like it was dominated by headlines about Gina Haspel, Michael Cohen, and American hostages being freed from North Korea, _Al-Monitor_ Diplomatic Correspondent and _Just
Security_ editorial board member Laura Rozen joined me to circle back to yesterday’s extremely important news that the Trump administration is abandoning the Iran nuclear deal. For years,
Rozen has covered efforts to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons. I asked her to weigh in on Europe’s reaction to the news that the U.S. was abandoning the deal, Tehran’s reaction, the
likelihood that the deal can succeed without Washington’s involvement, and what the news means for the Middle East. _Music: Autumn Leaves by Poddington Bear_ _Photo by Chip

Diplomatic Room at the White House May 8, 2018 in Washington, DC. After two and a half years of negotiations, Iran agreed in 2015 to end its nuclear program in exchange for Western
countries, including the United States, lifting decades of economic sanctions. Since then international inspectors have not found any violations of the terms by Iran. (Photo by Chip
