YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The United States and Israel are pushing the region toward a dangerous escalation with Iran, threatening strikes on energy infrastructure and even raising the possibility of a ground invasion.

But Iran isn’t backing down.

As the war expands across the region and the global economy, the risk of a wider conflict is growing by the day.

So what is the real strategy here? Is this brinkmanship, or the early stages of a war that could spiral far beyond anyone’s control? Have the U.S. and Israel fundamentally misjudged Iran?

Rania Khalek is joined by Mohammad Marandi, professor at the University of Tehran, to break it all down.
