Deakin University Global Islamic Politics Chair Professor Greg Barton weighs in on whether Iran will dismantle its enriched uranium and ballistic missile programs. “At the moment, the regime in Iran is in the stronger position but … their economy is on its knees, and they want a reasonable guarantee they’re not going to come under military pressure in the foreseeable future,” Mr Barton told Sky News host Caleb Bond. “Anything beyond that is negotiable, so that includes the enriched uranium and that even includes the ballistic missile program. “It’s going to take a lot of negotiation, and the nuclear enrichment stuff could take literally years.”
