In this episode of The Ayn Rand Institute Podcast, Elan Journo and Ben Bayer discuss the Trump administration’s move to restart nuclear talks with Iran by rehashing Obama’s failed deal.
Among the topics covered:
How the Trump administration’s new Iran deal essentially recycles Obama’s failed policy;
Why hopes for diplomacy with Iran evade the regime’s totalitarian nature;
Why treating a death-worshipping regime as legitimate empowers its cause;
The role of tribalism in stripping moral principles from America’s foreign policy;
How Trump’s amoralism blinds him to the threat of foreign dictatorships.
Mentioned in this podcast are “ARI’s Resources on Israel, Palestine, and the Middle East,” Journo’s book What Justice Demands, and his co-authored book with Onkar Ghate Failing to Confront Islamic Totalitarianism.
