2:02:45Now PlayingIn the last 24 hours, the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East has shifted dramatically. The U.S. Treasury Department just issued a 60-day sanctions waiver allowing the Iranian regime to sell oil and receive direct dollar payments. But is this financial relief a trap? Former NSC Director Rich Goldberg warns that lifting sanctions removes all leverage, especially as the Islamic Republic actively denies IAEA inspectors access to bombed nuclear sites—potentially using international officials as "human shields."
Meanwhile, high-stakes negotiations involving VP JD Vance are underway in Switzerland, even as the IRGC threatens commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, leaving over 400 ships gridlocked. We break down the U.S. Senate's latest war powers vote, the fragile ceasefire, and what the Iranian regime's backdoor communications with Hamas mean for the future of the Middle East.
