YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In a rare diplomatic opening, the United States and Iran are set to take part in negotiations on Iran's nuclear program that could potentially end U.S.led sanctions that have devastated the Iranian economy. On Thursday, Secretary of State John Kerry will meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarifin in one of the highestlevel contacts between the two nations in years. In speeches before the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, both President Obama and President Hassan Rouhani backed calls for diplomacy that have grown since Rouhani's election earlier this year. We discuss the potential thawing of U.S.Iran relations with Narges Bajoghli, a graduate student and filmmaker, whose documentary, "The Skin That Burns," tells the story of the 100,000 survivors of chemical warfare in Iran.
