This week we talk about time running out for Washington to seal the Iran deal and why the talks have seemingly stalled. George Washington University PhD candidate Sina Azodi discusses how lifting the IRGC terrorism designation has become a key sticking point in the debate, and how political pressures on Biden get worse as the midterm elections loom. In our first segment, Kelley and Daniel compare the "two Americas" as described by neoconservative and optimistic primacist Robert Kagan on one hand, and Daniel Bessner, a critic of empire on the other.
