34:31Now Playing'Wag-the-dog' is a political term for the act of creating a diversion from a damaging issue through military force.
As more and more shocking revelations emerge from the Epstein files, the Trump and Netanyahu regimes may well be tempted to use military force against Iran to distract Western voters from the deep and tawdry ties between Jeffrey Epstein and Israel.
Dimitri Lascaris speaks with Iranian Professor Mohammad Marandi about whether the world is witnessing a 'wag-the-dog' moment.
Dimitri and Prof. Marandi also discuss ongoing military exercises in the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian, Chinese and Russian naval forces, the potential for Gulf dictatorships to be wiped off the map in a regional war, and the significance of Al Quds Days, which is held every year on the last Friday of Ramadan.
