As the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran continues, Ali Abunimah, co-founder of The Electronic Intifada, joins Rania Khalek to break down why this current operation is the culmination of a decades-long campaign by the U.S. and its vassal states to destroy Iran — precisely because it has leveraged its sovereignty to support liberation movements in Palestine and Lebanon. As the consequences of “picking sides” with Israel and Donald Trump come home to roost for the Gulf monarchies, and as U.S. citizens’ appetite for another war wanes, Abunimah explains the mounting costs of a prolonged conflict for Israel and the U.S. He also discusses the deeper geopolitical implications: why Iran may not be the ultimate target, and what this war means for the emerging axis that includes Russia and China.
