Warwick Think Tanks
January 16, 2026
As pressure mounts from the United States and its allies, Iran faces a defining moment. With renewed sanctions, growing nuclear scrutiny, and deepening domestic unrest, can diplomacy still prevail?
In the first episode of the Warwick Think Pod, Manal Faris speaks to Seyed Hossein Mousavian, former Iranian ambassador to Germany and spokesman for the nuclear negotiation team. Mousavian offers an insider’s perspective on the collapse of the JCPOA, the protests lining the streets of Tehran, and what a diplomatic solution might now look like.
With Iran’s nuclear programme under intense scrutiny and its regional power increasingly questioned, how will Iran respond?
