Welcome to the world in 10, in an increasingly uncertain world,
this is The Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.
Today with me, Laura Cook and Stuart Willey.
Iran and the United States are set to meet again this week, likely in Rome,
after landmark first talks in Muscat at the weekend over the Iranian nuclear program.
With Iran reported to be just weeks from being able to build a bomb,
the US president has made a stark warning to Tehran, make a deal in 60 days or its war.
Today we'll unpack the significance of the talk and the challenges ahead with our guest Treta Parsi,
executive vice president at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, a think tank in Washington.
Treta, positive noises from everyone at the first round of talks, what's your sense of how it went?
I do have to say that this round went as well as it possibly could have gone.
In the sense that the indirect talks were for about two and a half hours and towards the end,
clearly enough progress had been made so that the Iranians could be convinced to meet directly with Steve Wittkopf,
which then enabled both sides to have been truthful.
