Trita Parsi is an Iranian-born foreign policy analyst, writer, and founder of the National Iranian American Council. He also co-founded the Quincy Institute For Responsible Statecraft, a think tank formed to move the U.S. “away from endless war” and toward the pursuit of international peace. Parsi joined Current Affairs to discuss the ongoing U.S.–Israel war with Iran and what Western media conveniently leaves out: from the devastating civilian toll to the decades of sanctions and covert operations that set the stage for the conflict. While the war may represent a strategic victory for Israel, he argues, it is a profound mistake for the United States.
