In the latest episode of our podcast, Elliott Abrams warns against financially rewarding Iran: “So, I do worry that if there is an agreement here, it is one that will enrich the new or newly led Iranian regime. And what happens there? I mean, we know what happens. I mean, they will use the money for their proxies. They will use their money to rebuild aspects of their missile and drone and ultimately nuclear programme.

"They will use the money to repress the Iranian people. A deal that financially rewards the regime is a deal that, in a certain sense, is helping the regime against the Iranian people.”

Elliot Abrams is veteran US official and Senior Fellow for Middle Eastern Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
