YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Persian Gulf is once again on the brink of a wider war after the U.S. launched new strikes on Iran and Tehran retaliated against Kuwait, even as negotiations continue over a possible ceasefire framework. “It’s obvious from everything we’ve seen that Trump does not know what to do,” says political analyst Omar Baddar. “He’s flailing.”
Baddar joins Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra to discuss Israel’s intensified attacks on Lebanon and Gaza, arguing that Israeli leaders believe their window for acting with impunity is rapidly closing. “Israel is behaving in a completely deranged way because they see the clock is ticking on American support,” he says.
Baddar argues that Israeli leaders are escalating their assaults while they still believe U.S. military and political backing will hold, “trying to do as much damage as possible” before that window closes.
