Can the US and Iran strike a last-minute nuclear deal to end the
war?

With the two-week ceasefire deadline expiring on Wednesday, peace
talks are tentatively set to go ahead in Pakistan between US Vice
President JD Vance and an Iranian delegation led by Mohammad
Ghalibaf. Donald Trump has threatened to resume bombing if
negotiations fail, but a major stumbling block remains: Iran’s
nuclear programme.

Washington wants Tehran to end all advanced uranium enrichment
and give up its 450kg of “nuclear dust” that is currently buried
under rubble. Rafael Grossi, director-general of the
International Atomic Energy Agency, tells foreign editor Louis
Emanuel that without proper verification on the ground, any
agreement will be an “illusion”.

Meanwhile, senior foreign correspondent Memphis Barker explains
how the "ghost" of the previous Iran nuclear agreement - Barack
Obama's 2015 JCPOA - looms large over everything. Can Trump
strike a better deal now than the one he tore up in 2018?

Plus, Roland Oliphant runs through the latest updates and news
from across the region, including what is going on in the Strait
of Hormuz and some clarity on when the ceasefire actually
ends.

Highlights:

Rafael Grossi, head of the IAEA, on why a nuclear deal with
Iran is tricky but doable

Why the ghost of Obama’s 2015 Iran nuclear deal looms over
peace talks
