The episode delves into critical efforts to control Iran's nuclear ambitions, such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran Nuclear Agreement. Manuel provides a detailed analysis of the current state of Iran’s nuclear programme, including its progress in uranium enrichment and the challenges following the collapse of the JCPOA.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><em>The Arms Control Poseur</em> is a podcast series produced by The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS)&nbsp;on behalf of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium (EUNPDC).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We hope you enjoy the episode and please follow, rate, and subscribe to <em>The Arms Control Poseur</em> on the podcast platform of your choice.&nbsp;</p><p>Date of Recording: <strong>4 October 2023</strong>&nbsp;</p><p><em>The Arms Control Poseur</em> is recorded and produced at the IISS in Berlin.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><u>Episode background reading:&nbsp;</u></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The latest IISS research on ‘Mitigating the Risks of an Unconstrained Iranian Nuclear Programme’, 31 March 2023, <a href=\"https://www.iiss.org/en/research-paper/2023/03/mitigating-the-risks-of-an--unconstrained-iranian--nuclear-programme/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.iiss.org/en/research-paper/2023/03/mitigating-the-risks-of-an--unconstrained-iranian--nuclear-programme/</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Amnah Ibrahim and William Alberque, ‘Iran Approaches the Nuclear Threshold’, 10 November 2022, <a href=\"https://www.iiss.org/en/online-analysis/online-analysis/2022/11/iran-approaches-the-nuclear-threshold/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.iiss.org/en/online-analysis/online-analysis/2022/11/iran-approaches-the-nuclear-threshold/</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Manuel Herrera’s latest on the Regionalising the JCPOA, <a href=\"https://www.iai.it/en/pubblicazioni/regionalising-jcpoa\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.iai.it/en/pubblicazioni/regionalising-jcpoa</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Background on Iran’s nuclear programme and efforts to constrain it, <a href=\"https://www.nti.org/analysis/articles/iran-nuclear/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.nti.org/analysis/articles/iran-nuclear/</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And more resources from the EUNPDC on the topic, <a href=\"https://www.nonproliferation.eu/thematics/proliferation-crises/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.nonproliferation.eu/thematics/proliferation-crises/</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Links:&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Funder: <a href=\"http://www.nonproliferation.eu/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.nonproliferation.eu/</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>IISS research programme: <a href=\"https://www.iiss.org/research/strategy-technology-and-arms-control/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Strategy, Technology and Arms Control | IISS Research programme</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>Music: <a href=\"https://elysiumon37th.bandcamp.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://elysiumon37th.bandcamp.com</a>.&nbsp;</p>","author_name":"The International Institute for Strategic Studies "}
