Akoiran's interview with Robert Meli: Why is the agreement difficult? Audio version ▫ In the program "On the other side", Robert Malley, former special representative of the US for Iran affairs in the Joe Biden administration, together with Ali Vaez, director of the Iran Project and the senior adviser of the International Crisis Group, examined the impact of the midterm elections in the US on the policies of Donald Trump. ▫ Meli believes that the electoral defeat of the Republicans could have long-term consequences for this party and affect Trump's political path. According to him, Trump has two options: accept the costs of the war with Iran and move towards an agreement to end tensions, or insist on his decision to avoid appearing weak. Meli says that it is impossible to predict with certainty which way Trump will choose. The link for this program on the device is a link for this program on YouTube.
