Remember the Iran War?
It’s been about six months since the United States and Israel decided to illegally and unilaterally invade Iran and kill the Ayatollah based on lies.
It was supposed to be an easy war, much like the Venezuela coup, and Trump was set to move on to Cuba and Greenland. Well, there’s a reason why no President before him ever followed Netanyahu into such a disastrous quagmire.
The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, Iranian leadership has regrouped and become more radicalized, and the United States now appears weaker to our allies and our enemies. Also, gas prices remain high, and there are growing threats of food and energy shortages hitting the United States. Oh, the US now also faces a critical shortage of Patriot missiles.
But other than that and all the dead and wounded soldiers and civilians, everything is going great!
The military industrial complex keeps milking money, and war hawks enjoy getting their checks from AIPAC and other corporate PACs as people die and Americans suffer.
Iran expert Trita Parsi rejoins The Left Hook to discuss the disastrous consequences of this war and what we should expect in the months to come.
