With the government shutdown, it looks like American political system is facing more challenges these days. Thousands upon thousands of federal employees are left with no paychecks, which could go on forever. While people are feeling dismayed by the US political polarization, outside Washington D.C., foreign policies are also facing hurdles, too. Iran is seeking more support from Europe, as the sanctions will not be lifted for a while. In this brand-new episode, Dr. Jamsheed K. Choksy, a Distinguished Professor of Iranian and Central Eurasian Studies, joins the conversation.

Dr. Jamsheed K. Choksy is Distinguished Professor of Iranian and Central Eurasian Studies in the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies and Director of the Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center at Indiana University.
