57:59Now PlayingAs U.S. military assets move into the Middle East and tensions with Iran escalate, Drop Site News’ Jeremy Scahill speaks with Dr. Foad Izadi, professor at the University of Tehran.
Izadi outlines what he describes as a long-running U.S. and Israeli strategy toward Iran, including regime change, territorial fragmentation, and control of oil and gas resources. He discusses the origins of the recent protests, the battle over narratives surrounding the violence, Iran’s internet shutdown, and how Tehran may respond to another military strike.
The conversation examines how close the current standoff may be to a wider regional war.
