Bryan Clark appears on ChinaTalk to discuss Secretary Pete Hegseth’s recent speech, in which he says “we negotiate with bombs,” highlighting the United States’ commitment to ensuring Iran is no longer a nuclear threat. He also explores the status of talks with Iran, who is actually talking to whom, and what each side is willing to reveal. Clark notes that if negotiations are happening, if the IRGC is not privy to the details, they will not succeed.
