Iran-U.S. nuke talks: Khamenei aide meets Putin as Trump raises heat | Can Russia end the deadlock?

After threatening to “wipe out” Iran following an assassination attempt, President Trump is now just a day away from round two of nuclear talks — with Iran. Yes, you read that right. Last week it was Muscat, this week it’s Rome. And while a nuclear deal is still out of reach, a path is being quietly built — away from headlines, away from cameras. So what’s changed between Washington and Tehran? Why did Iran’s top negotiator from the 2015 deal just resign? Why is the UN nuclear watchdog warning time is running out? And more importantly — what is Russia doing in all of this? From supplying weapons to Iran, to softening ties with Trump, is Putin emerging as the ultimate dealmaker? In this episode of Grey Zone, Ananya Dutta unpack the real story behind the table — the one no one’s showing you. Because in diplomacy, what’s not said is often louder than what is.
