Iran "deal": winners, losers, and regional impact | Sources & Methods

June 19, 2026·35m

The U.S. and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding that extends the existing ceasefire, reopens the Strait of Hormuz, and opens negotiations for a final peace deal. In this episode from NPR's national security podcast Sources & Methods, host Mary Louise Kelly gathers three NPR correspondents who are covering the region – Greg Myre in Tel Aviv, Jane Arraf in Beirut, and Aya Batrawy in Cairo – to unpack the details of the agreement and break down where the war has left the Middle East.
