Joel Rayburn appears on EWTN News to discuss how the focus of negotiations with Iran has shifted beyond enriched uranium and the Strait of Hormuz to Iran’s support for Hezbollah. He says Israel is focused on eliminating the Hezbollah threat, while the United States seeks to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and stabilize global markets. Rayburn also noted that competing factions within Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps continue to complicate negotiations.
