As the US and Iran begin direct talks in Pakistan aimed at ending the war, serious questions remain over whether peace is truly within reach. Iran’s 10-point proposal has put major substantive issues on the table, many of which could prove difficult to resolve. But with the alternative being a wider and more devastating conflict, can direct negotiations between the US and Iran shift the course towards peace?

This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks to former Iranian Ambassador to Germany Seyed Hossein Mousavian and former US 2015 Iran nuclear deal negotiator, Alan Eyre.

Speaking to the enemy: what to expect from US-Iran negotiations | UpFront

A controversial new law passed in Israel is drawing sharp international criticism, with rights groups warning it could deepen apartheid and fast-track executions of Palestinian detainees.

The law introduces the death penalty by hanging for certain acts defined as “terrorism,” raising concerns about how it will be applied in a system critics say already treats Palestinians and Israelis differently.

This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with human rights lawyer Diana Buttu about what the law means in practice, how it could be enforced, and whether it can be challenged under international law.

Death by hanging: Israel law sparks global alarm | UpFront

US President Donald Trump says the war on Iran is nearing an end, but threatens to escalate its bombing campaign and send Iran “back to the Stone Ages”. Meanwhile, Israel continues its attacks in Iran and its ground invasion of southern Lebanon.

Does Israel want to make Lebanon and Iran the next Gaza? | UpFront

The US-Israeli war with Iran has left a devastating humanitarian impact that could last for years. The bombing of energy infrastructure, fuel depots, and oil tankers has not only shocked the global economy, but polluted air, soil, food and waterways with toxic chemicals. In response to escalating attacks from the US and Israel, Iran has threatened to bomb desalination plants in the Gulf, which millions of people in the region rely on for drinking water. So what will be the true toll of this war on populations and ecosystems around the globe?

This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with Narges Bajoghli, associate professor of Middle East Studies at the School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University and co-author of, How Sanctions Work: Iran and the Impact of Economic Warfare.
