Since the Islamic Revolution and the hostage-taking of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in November 1979, Iran has been living under economic sanctions whose intensity varies according to the confrontational policies of the two countries. In 2015, the Vienna Agreement, signed by the Islamic Republic, the United States, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, China and Russia, generated an unprecedented wave of hope: Iran renounced acquiring nuclear weapons in exchange for the partial lifting of the embargo. Less than three years later, in May 2018, the Trump administration announced its unilateral withdrawal from the agreement and the reinstatement of sanctions, which had been tightened over the months. Cornered, Iran broke away from its commitments to force its partners to react.

For the first time, the politicians and negotiators on both sides of the channel tell the story of the key events, the mistakes and the miscalculations that made Theresa May postpone Brexit and forced her from office.

In the 1980s, three people dominated the propaganda agenda in the Cold War. The first is US President Ronald Reagan, a staunch anti-Communist who would do anything to denounce it while putting the US in a positive light. He wanted to look tough, especially through a military build-up since he believed the Soviets far out-muscled the Americans militarily. But his propaganda changed as world issues around him changed, most specifically Soviet Premier Yuri Andropov inviting Maine schoolgirl Samantha Smith to the Soviet Union for a goodwill visit, and the Soviet military shooting down a commercial jet in Soviet airspace. The second is Polish national Pope John Paul II. His succession to Pope was at a tenuous time in Poland. But his anti-Communist stance allowed Lech Walesa and Solidarity to rise in Poland. However, the Communists would not go down in Poland without a fight, which was led by General Wojciech Jaruzelski. And the third is Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev. Despite being a Communist, his growing up period during Stalin's reign shaped his view that Communism should be transparent, which was dubbed glasnost. Although Gorbachev was viewed with great esteem worldwide, he was viewed less so by the Soviet peoples who saw that the propaganda did not match their reality.
