So that is apparently where things are right now.

We do have the great Professor Jeffrey Sachs to break some more of this down, the situation with Iran.

Let's get to it.

So joining us now to break down all of these developments and more is Columbia University professor and economist and great friend of the show, Jeffrey Sachs.

Great to see you, sir.

So we just went over some of the developments this morning.

We've had a new exchange of fire between the Iran and U.S.

and Iran and Kuwait.

We also have Trump coming out and complaining about people chirping as he's trying to make a deal.

Obviously, Israel continues to bomb inside of Lebanon and Iran continues to insist that that is a red line for them.

So what do you see as going on right now?

Do you think we are actually close to a deal or is this whole thing falling apart and degrading?

Of course, Sagar, the professor forgets that they've also added someone from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies to the negotiating team.

One last question on Iran, sir.

Zooming out.

You travel the world.

You speak to a lot of diplomats, Europe and Asia.

What has been the reaction behind the scenes?

You talk to a lot of these world leaders and a lot of these diplomats.

What are they all thinking right now?
