In our latest podcast, Alex Parsons, Lead Analyst for the Americas is joined by Eloise Scott, Lead Analyst for the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey and James Hannan, Associate Analyst for Americas, to discuss the presidential elections in Iran.
Iranian elections held on 18 June are almost certain to return a hard-line president, allowing hardliners and conservatives to consolidate their power over the country and its institutions. This podcast explores how the polls might affect Iran's internal affairs and ongoing nuclear talks with the other JCPOA signatories and wider regional dynamics.
