In this exclusive discussion, former White House advisor Robert Pape and former US Director Joe Kent weigh in on the future of a possible US-Iran peace deal and the key question: on whose terms will peace be negotiated? The conversation explores whether any agreement can deliver long-term stability, Pakistan’s surprising role in Iran war mediation, and whether Islamabad can be seen as a reliable stakeholder in the process.

The panel also examines reported tensions between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s objectives in the region, and whether Washington can overlook Israeli concerns while negotiating peace. Robert Pape decodes whether Israel influenced the case for war — and whether it is now shaping the terms for peace — while Joe Kent shares insights on Trump’s shrinking inner circle after the 12-day war and who the US president relies on during major national security decisions.

The discussion also raises questions over intelligence assessments on Iran and whether the case for military action was backed by actionable evidence. n18oc_the-hard-facts n18oc_world News18
