Andrew Cuomo and Dr. Nazee Moinian regarding a preliminary diplomatic agreement involving the United States, Iran, and Pakistan.

While the discussion touches on the necessity of a verification regime for Iran's nuclear capabilities, the participants disagree on the underlying motivations for the deal. Cuomo suggests the agreement is a political maneuver to lower domestic fuel prices and project strength before an election, whereas Moinian expresses skepticism about the reliability of the Iranian regime and emphasizes the ongoing regional friction involving Israel and various military proxies.
