The Intelligence from The Economist · Ceasefire alarm: Iran and Israel trade strikes · 8 Jun 2026 podcast

Or are they going to let this

keep going and risk again the a possible resumption of the war, resumption of attacks on Gulf states.

There's a lot riding here on the hope that there will be no significant damage caused by this exchange of fire and this will stay within certain parameters, but the longer it goes on, I think the harder it's going to be to restrain this.

Thank you, Rosie.

uh doctor so it's uh combined

The Intelligence from The Economist · No big deal: murky Iran-war negotiations · 26 May 2026 podcast

Greg Callstrom is our Middle East correspondent.

Now, going into the weekend, there had been some optimism about an interim agreement that might extend the ceasefire.

Envoys from the mediating countries visited Iran on Friday.

Donald Trump seemed to imply on Saturday that a deal was imminent, but then we heard mixed messages.

He said he was in no rush to get a deal done.

And as we're speaking now on Tuesday morning, we still haven't reached even that interim agreement.

I do think America and Iran are closer than they were to that interim deal, which the Americans are sometimes calling a letter of intent or a memorandum of understanding to end the war.

Effectively, it's a deal to keep talking about a deal.

So it would likely extend the ceasefire by sixty days, and then it would set out a list of broad principles that both America

America and Iran would agree to.

So Iran, for example, might agree to a time-bound moratorium on uranium enrichment.

America would agree to deliver various forms of sanctions relief for Iran.

And then they would spend the next 60 days or perhaps longer negotiating over how to implement those principles.

Iran agrees to pause uranium enrichment.

What exactly does that mean?
