Shownotes Transcript

Today's program is dominated by the escalating tensions between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). On November 21, select members of the IAEA Board of Governors, including Britain, France, Germany, and the United States, passed a resolution) urging Iran to enhance its cooperation with the agency and provide a “comprehensive” report. This move, seen as an effort to pressure Tehran back to the negotiating table over its nuclear program, was met with a defiant response from Iran’s Foreign Ministry, which vowed to “respond in kind.” The Iranian media landscape reflects a growing polarization over this issue. Iran's state-affiliated outlets have offered a range of perspectives, revealing internal and external political strategies aimed at countering what is perceived as Western coercion.
