Eric Cohen, executive director of the Tikvah Fund, interviews Michael Doran, a Brookings Institution senior fellow. They discuss the U.S., the Middle East, and President Obama.

“We have ceded to Iran an enormous amount of leverage. Iran has given up no leverage over us whatsoever. With respect to their nuclear program, they are at first and goal. What they have agreed to with this agreement is to stay at first and goal… the leverage that they have over us is constant,” Doran tells Cohen.
