Amanpour is CNN International's flagship global affairs interview program hosted by Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour.

Amanpour

Donald Trump's public position is that his agreement with Iran is great, and better than Obama's nuclear deal. But a leaked draft of the MOU raises some real questions about which side benefits the most, and whether the United States is any better off than before the war. New York Times reporter David Sanger, whom Trump called over the weekend when the agreement was made, joins the show. 

Also on today's show: journalists Yeganeh Torbati and Bozorgmehr Sharafedin on their book "Stolen Revolution"; journalist and soccer commentator Simon Kuper, author of "Soccernomics"; Elizabeth Economy, Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University

Was Trump's War Worth It?

World leaders meeting at the G7 summit have a lot to talk about, including the short-on-details US peace agreement with Iran, and Russia's seemingly endless war against Urkaine. As Canada's former deputy prime minister, Chrystia Freeland is intimately familiar with what happens behind the scenes at meetings like the G7. She now serves as economic advisor to Ukrainian President Zelensky and joins the show to discuss. 

Also on today's show: Stephanie Flanders, head of economics and politics, Bloomberg News; environmental activist Erin Brockovich

Former Canadian Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland

Leaders from some of the world's most powerful nations are gathering today in France for the G7. This year's summit comes just after the US and Iran say they have struck a tentative deal to end hostilities and open the Strait of Hormuz. The text of the deal has not yet been made public and both sides have offered conflicting accounts of what will follow a signing ceremony on Friday. To add to the uncertainty, the agreement does not resolve perhaps the most important long term issue: Iran's nuclear program and its existing highly enriched uranium. Those negotiations are meant to be dealt with in the next two months. For more on this, Iran expert Karim Sadjadpour joins the show from Washington DC. 

Also on today's show: financial author and journalist William D. Cohan, founding partner of Puck News; Hungarian journalist Viktória Serdült; Washington Post reporter Dan Diamond

Us-Iran Agreement Is Just the First Step

A head-spinning week as Iran and the United States trade blows and mull peace deals, on the sidelines Europe is feeling the pain and calling for a permanent end to the conflict. Former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin has been an outspoken critic of America's involvement in the Middle East and he joins Christiane from Paris to discuss the state of play. And, as the cycle of strikes and fragile truces continues, former Deputy National Security Adviser to President Barack Obama, Ben Rhodes offers his insight. He shares his predictions for post-war Iran and discusses his new book "All We Say" which traces fifteen significant American speeches, from Benjamin Franklin to Donald Trump. Then, a new opera in Kyiv tells the story of three Ukrainian women and their fight to bring their abducted children home. Christiane's report on "Mothers of Kherson" and the families torn apart by Russia. Plus, from rivals to friends. 18-time Grand Slam Tennis Champions Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert reflect on their shared battle against cancer, explored in their new documentary "The Final Set." From the Amanpour archives, we mark 35 years since Boris Yeltsin became Russia's first democractically elected president. A look back at Christiane's report from Paris during Yeltsin's trip to France as leader during a brief era of hope in Russia's relationship with Europe.

A Cycle of Ceasefires and Escalation in the Middle East and Fears for Post-War Iran

Day after day, Russia pounds Ukraine as President Putin tries to claim he's winning this war - now in its fifth year. But increasingly audacious long-range Ukrainian strikes are challenging that narrative. This week, they struck an arms factory and an oil refinery deep inside Russia. Ukraine also hit the Russian-occupied port of Mariupol - a strategically important site that was taken by Russian forces early in the war after it was the setting for one of the first major sites of Russian horrors. Many people scrambling to survive the atrocity took refuge in a theatre, which was bombed on March 16th, 2022. This critical episode of the war is the subject of a new book, "The Theatre," by journalist James Verini and he joins the show from New York. 

Also on today's show: actors Mark Strong and Lesley Manville discuss "Oedipus"; Rebecca Winthrop, Director, Brookings Institution Center for Universal Education

Former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin

Early this morning, Iran launched retaliatory strikes on American bases in the region, after the US military struck strategic locations near the Strait of Hormuz, which were themselves a response to Iran's downing of a US Army helicopter earlier this week. This came shortly after Iran and Israel exchanged fire over the weekend. Suzanne Maloney is a leading expert on Iran and the Persian Gulf policy at the Brookings Institution. She joins the show to discuss the latest. 

Also on today's show: former Irish Senator-turned-journalist Maira Cahill; Heidi Blake, Staff Writer, The New Yorker; Shell US President Colette Hirstius

US Foreign Policy Expert Suzanne Maloney

Once again, President Trump is falsely claiming election fraud after Democrats advanced in the non-partisan primary for the Los Angeles mayoral race. Trump has blamed mail-in ballots for the result, reviving false claims that have become a familiar feature of his presidency. So what does this tell us about the president's mindset, and the state of America's democracy heading into the midterms? Susan Glasser of The New Yorker joins Bianna from Washington. 

Also on today’s show: Atlantic staff writer Anne Applebaum; author Jules Boykoff, “Red Card”

Assessing Trump’s State of Mind

For a while it looked like the war in the Middle East might tip into full-scale fighting again, after the first major exchange of fire between Israel and Iran since the April ceasefire. President Trump responded, posting “Israel and Iran must immediately stop ‘shooting.’” Tehran announced it has suspended military operations against Israel but warns that strikes will resume if attacks on Lebanon continue. Then, less than an hour after that announcement, Israel struck villages in Southern Lebanon. Nimrod Novik is a veteran Israeli negotiator, and former senior diplomatic advisor to the late prime minister, Shimon Peres. He joins the program from Tel Aviv. 

Also on today's show: Lebanese President Joseph Aoun; former Executive Assistant FBI Director Jacqueline Maguire

Attacks Threaten Ceasefire

In Lebanon, a US-mediated ceasefire shows little sign of holding. Four people were killed in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Friday; Hezbollah says it continues to target Israeli troops. Amid the turmoil, Christiane met with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in Beirut for an exclusive interview. Aoun rarely speaks with foreign media, but is taking this step to send a message to the world about the fate of his nation. 

Also on today's show: CNN Senior White House Correspondent Kristen Holmes; Eddie Glaude Jr., author, "America, U.S.A."; Craig Fehrman, author, "This Vast Enterprise"
