In this episode of the Brussels Report podcast, BrusselsReport.eu editor Pieter Cleppe discusses the tense relationship between the EU and Iran with two eminent experts on the topic:
Rebecca Schönenbach, CEO of Veto! For the Rule of Law and expert in extremism and terrorist financing (Part I of the podcast)
and
Kambiz Ghafouri, Director KGM Media, journalist and expert on Iran domestic and foreign policy (Part II of the podcast)
The following topics are being discussed:
– Are we close to a new Iran deal? What are the pitfalls? Are there any upsides?
– Are Iran and Russia rivals or are they full-fledged allies? How should the EU and the West position themselves against this?
– What should be EU policy towards Iran?
– Is Russia already using Iran to circumvent the sanctions? Will this increase after a deal with Iran?

Die Verbindungen von Al Qaida zum iranischen Regime sind lange bekannt – ein weiterer Faktor, warum das iranische Regime auch ein Sicherheitsrisiko für Europa darstellt.
Dennoch wird die Gefahr für die innere Sicherheit weiter ignoriert.#JCPOA https://t.co/PGpWfI1nAj— Rebecca Schönenbach (@if_rebecca) September 3, 2022
