Will Israel's attacks derail the US-Iran MOU?

Talks between Iran and the United States in Switzerland have been postponed following Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon. Under an interim agreement reached earlier this week, Washington and Tehran committed to an "immediate and permanent cessation" of hostilities, including in Lebanon. However, repeated Israeli attacks on Lebanon have threatened to derail the diplomatic process, fueling tensions between Washington and Tel Aviv. So, will the United States and Iran be able to resume negotiations soon? More importantly, can the two sides reach a lasting and peaceful settlement of their differences? And even if an agreement is achieved, will it be durable enough to withstand the region's deep-seated tensions and recurring crises?

Guests in this edition of Dialogue include Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi from the University of Tehran; Zhou Bo, senior fellow of the Center for International Security and Strategy at Tsinghua University.
