Iran: Is diplomacy dead?

Iran: Is diplomacy dead?

As the US-Israeli strikes on Iran continue and the death toll continues to rise, so too does the war of words.

Nate Swanson, a former State Department official who spent nearly two decades in the US government working on American policy towards Iran, answers our questions on how the next stage of the conflict is likely to unfold - and whether a negotiated peace with Iran is still an option.
