YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump’s strongman act could drag the US into yet another Middle East war — this time, with Iran. Trump gave Iran two options: talk to us directly, or we will bomb you like never before. According to Trump, Iran went with the former. But how possible is a conflict with Tehran?
To break it all down, Iranian-American relations expert *Trita Parsi* joins *Mehdi Hasan* on ‘Mehdi Unfiltered.’
_“A lot of countries, including the Iranians, are discounting a lot of those threats, not in the sense that they don't take them seriously — they're preparing, but they understand that that's part of the noise that Trump seems to want to do.”_
Mehdi and Parsi discuss nuclear weapons, whether the desire for war is Trump’s or Netanyahu’s, Israel’s Gaza assault and its ever-expanding impact on Iranian allies (from Syria to Lebanon to Yemen), and how much weaker that leaves Iran in the face of a possible US/Israel-sponsored attack.
Watch the FULL interview to hear Mehdi *challenge* Parsi on whether it may have been too soon for him to suggest earlier this year that Trump was engaged in “peace efforts” in the Middle East.
