Can Iran's president persuade the world to end sanctions? | Inside Story

After nine months and seven rounds of talks, negotiations to limit Iran's nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief seem to be heading towards a stand-still. Leaders of the new Iranian administration resumed talks in Vienna last week. The United States says Iran isn't serious about returning to nuclear compliance. As a new draft deal nears completion, European negotiators accuse the Iranians of taking a step backwards. President Raisi is also promising to tackle Iran's long running economic problems. Are both aims achievable? And will he be forced to make concessions?
