CrossTalk Interview: ‘Epic Mistake’
As the days pass, the US-Israel military campaign against Iran is resembling more of an ‘Epic Mistake’ rather than ‘Epic Fury’. Indeed, the regional and geopolitical implications are becoming apparent. The US and Israel are not winning, as Iran remains steadfast. CrossTalking with Alastair Crooke.
Going off the rails
There is no indication that the US-Israel war of aggression on Iran will end any time soon, though Donald Trump tells us otherwise. With a new popular leader, Iran is steadfast. That cannot be said of regional stability, long-standing alliances, and the global economy. CrossTalking with Ali Alizadeh, Elijah J. Magnier, and Sarah Leah Whitson.
CrossTalk Bullhorns: Unconditional surrender!
A week into this war of choice, Trump is demanding that Iran surrender unconditionally. Is sending in ground troops next? Meanwhile, the global economy is going off the rails. CrossTalking with George Szamuely and Mark Sleboda.
Asymmetrical attrition?
At the center of Trump’s three presidential campaigns was an anti-war message. The US would never again fight very expensive and open-ended foreign wars. This all changed when the US and Israel attacked Iran. There was supposed to be no forced regime change. Now there is a forever war. CrossTalking with Marwa Osman, Jalyssa Dugrot, and Kevork Almassian.
Trump’s war of choice
From the start we were told the US-Israeli attack on Iran was about regime change in Tehran. That has not happened. What has happened is a regional war and growing escalation. Trump may have committed the greatest blunder in American foreign policy history. CrossTalking with Mohammad Marandi, Hassan Ahmadian, and Miko Peled.
CrossTalk Bullhorns: So it begins
With the US-Israeli preemptive attack on Iran, it is now obvious that negotiations were never taken seriously. It was not about Iran’s nuclear program, missiles, or protesters. It is all about forced regime change. The risks are enormous. The outcome is unclear, even unknowable. CrossTalking with George Szamuely and Mark Sleboda.
