The Chris Hedges Report · Where Will the Coming Iran War Negotiations Lead? (w/ Mohammad Marandi) | The Chris Hedges Report · 15 Jun 2026 podcast

Obama, he really badly burned Iran and the administration back then because he was supposed to carry out a series of commitments and he refrained from carrying out most of them.

And that's why the JCPOA is not looked upon favorably in Iran.

This time around, what the Iranians are doing is they're saying that first the United States has to release Iranian assets

The United States has to bring an end to the slaughter in Lebanon, and then we can move forward.

So the sequencing is different than the JCPOA, where Iran carried out its obligations, and then the Americans could choose whether to do so or not.

Now, in some respects, the Americans have to move first.

In some other respects, they're simultaneous.

Yes, absolutely.

And it's also there are also other agreements that we had along the way over

Afghanistan, over Iraq, in Lebanon, and elsewhere.

And in every single instance, it was the Americans who cheated and violated the deal.

And that's why there is a lot of skepticism in Tehran.

I don't know anyone who believes that this is going to be signed and then the Americans are going to voluntarily carry out their commitments and then we're going to move on to stage two and then we're going to have

some sort of comprehensive deal.

I find it personally highly unlikely and anything can happen along the way.

In fact, again, Saturday being 10 p.m.

on Saturday night right now, I'm still not certain that the deal will be signed.

I think the chances are high because Trump is under pressure, but there's a lot of resistance on some elements of the deal.

that for Iran is a deal-breaker.

The Americans don't want the Israelis to have their hands tied with regards to Lebanon.
