Amid a fragile US-Iran ceasefire and a major shift in West Asian geopolitics, what does the latest agreement mean for Iran, Israel, the US, and the future of the region? In this episode of Frontline Conversations, Talmiz Ahmad, former diplomat and West Asia expert, analyses the changing dynamics of the region and the forces shaping its future.
Drawing on his decades of diplomatic experience and his book West Asia at War: Repression, Resistance, and Great Power Games, Ambassador Ahmad examines the evolving relationship between Washington and Tehran, Israel’s role in regional politics, and whether the latest developments could mark a turning point in decades of conflict.
The interview also looks at the wider implications for India, including its energy interests, diplomatic balancing act, and engagement with a region central to global politics and security.
