How U.S. & Iran are ‘weaponising’ nuclear talks & why it could reshape Middle-East power dynamics

The U.S. and Iran are back at the negotiating table. But is this really about nuclear weapons — or is something else going on? As Washington and Tehran exchange proposals, veiled threats, and strategic silence, the real game is being played in the shadows. Behind the scenes, pressure is replacing compromise, and diplomacy is being weaponised. So what’s at stake here? Is this about uranium enrichment or leverage over the Middle East? Why is Israel lurking in the subtext of every American statement? And why is the IAEA, the UN's nuclear watchdog stuck in a no-win position? From snapback sanctions to regional flashpoints, in this episode of Grey Zone, Ananya Dutta breaks down how the Iran-U.S. talks could reshape the geopolitical map without a single missile being fired.
