US-Iran conflict: What comes after the pause?

After more than two weeks of heavy fighting between the US and Iran, the two sides have stopped striking each other, at least for now. US President Donald Trump says he has paused further military action to give negotiations another chance, but Tehran denies that any direct talks are taking place. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington for talks with President Trump, and the outcome could prove pivotal for the next phase of the crisis. Is the war in Iran moving toward diplomacy or another escalation? Can Washington and Tehran overcome their disputes over the Strait of Hormuz and the terms of a broader agreement? And could differences between Trump and Netanyahu determine whether the conflict moves toward diplomacy or renewed escalation? Guests in this edition of Dialogue are Ross Harrison, senior fellow at the Middle East Institute and author of the book "Decoding Iran's Foreign Policy"; Hamid Reza Gholamzadeh, director of a think tank, House of Diplomacy; and Professor Zhang Chuchu, deputy director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Fudan University. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
