Interview with Mousavian & more, Aljazeera English, April 7, 2026
Has the tough-talking Donald Trump met his match? Despite escalating threats, the US President has yet to force a deal with Iran. He has warned that a “whole civilization could die tonight” but will this latest ultimatum change anything? As the war enters its sixth week, we debate whether the conflict is nearing a major escalation and approaching a point of no return. Up for debate on Counterpoints with Melinda Nucifora.
Guests:
• Seyed Hossein Mousavian, former Iranian diplomat and senior nuclear negotiator
